Bill Summary
This bill establishes requirements for any state, county, or local law enforcement officer that is assisting with federal immigration enforcement pursuant to the federal 287(g) program.
AI Summary
This bill establishes specific requirements for state, county, and local law enforcement officers participating in the federal 287(g) program, which allows local law enforcement to assist federal immigration enforcement. Under this proposed law, officers involved in the 287(g) program must (1) clearly identify themselves by providing their name, badge number, and agency when performing immigration enforcement duties, and (2) remain unmasked while operating under the 287(g) agreement. The purpose appears to be increasing transparency and accountability for law enforcement officers when they are assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with immigration-related tasks. The bill would take effect 60 days after its passage, giving local law enforcement agencies time to adjust to the new identification and visibility requirements.
