This legislation seeks to provide financial support to state and local governments by addressing the costs associated with their employees performing duties typically carried out by federal immigration officers. It aims to facilitate local enforcement partnerships by offsetting personnel expenses. The bill achieves this by amending Section 287(g)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, granting the Attorney General the authority to reimburse a state or political subdivision for wages , including overtime compensation . These payments are specifically for an officer or employee performing a function under an agreement established under that subsection, thereby enabling states and localities to recover certain labor costs for immigration-related duties.
