Bill > HR3882

This bill, known as the RIPPLE Act of 2025 (Reimbursements for Immigration Partnerships with Police to allow Local Enforcement Act), proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow the Attorney General to reimburse states and local governments for the wages and overtime pay of employees who perform immigration enforcement functions. Specifically, the bill would enable financial compensation to state and local law enforcement agencies that enter into agreements to assist federal immigration authorities with tasks like identifying, detaining, or processing undocumented immigrants. The reimbursement would cover standard wages and overtime compensation as defined by existing tax and labor laws, potentially providing a financial incentive for local jurisdictions to more actively participate in federal immigration enforcement efforts. By offering to cover the salary and overtime costs of local officers performing these immigration-related duties, the bill aims to encourage greater cooperation between federal immigration authorities and state and local law enforcement agencies.
