AI Summary

This bill, known as the Mississippi Glacier (ICE) Act, establishes a grant program within the Mississippi Department of Public Safety to provide financial support to state and local law enforcement agencies that participate in the federal 287(g) program, which allows these agencies to enter into agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enforce federal immigration laws. The program will award grants to eligible agencies that have a formal partnership agreement with ICE, and these funds can be used for expenses such as detaining individuals for ICE, purchasing equipment, travel, lodging, and training related to immigration enforcement. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, with preference given to previous recipients, and agencies cannot receive grants for activities already funded by other sources. The bill also creates a dedicated fund within the State Treasury for this grant program, and it will take effect on July 1, 2026.
