Bill > HB1872

This bill amends Pennsylvania law to restrict the Pennsylvania State Police from entering into, modifying, renewing, or extending agreements with federal immigration authorities that would allow them to exercise federal civil immigration enforcement powers or detain individuals for civil immigration violations. Specifically, the bill prohibits the State Police from participating in agreements that authorize immigration officers to enforce federal immigration laws or enter into intergovernmental service agreements for housing individuals held by federal immigration authorities. The bill requires the termination of any existing such agreements within 30 days of the law's enactment. However, the bill clarifies that these restrictions do not prevent law enforcement from enforcing valid court warrants or complying with federal regulations regarding the disclosure of criminal history information. Essentially, the legislation aims to limit the Pennsylvania State Police's cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts, while maintaining their ability to perform other law enforcement duties.
