Bill > HR0128

This resolution encourages Michigan county sheriffs and local law enforcement agencies to enter into 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a federal program that allows local officers to perform specific immigration law enforcement functions. The resolution highlights that the 287(g) program enables designated local officers to identify, detain, and process individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States, particularly those who have been arrested for criminal offenses. By promoting these agreements, the resolution aims to increase cooperation between federal and local authorities, enhance public safety, and prioritize the removal of criminal aliens and gang members who pose threats to Michigan communities. The resolution specifically notes that the program provides comprehensive federal training and resources to ensure participating officers operate within legal boundaries, and it points to the City of Taylor's police department as a positive example of collaboration with ICE. The resolution calls for transmitting copies of the document to key stakeholders in law enforcement and immigration agencies, signaling a strong stance in support of federal immigration enforcement.
