This bill aims to discontinue a federal program that currently allows state and local law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration laws. It specifically amends Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which governs agreements between federal and local authorities for immigration enforcement. The proposed amendment would restrict the authority to inquire about, verify, investigate, apprehend, arrest, or detain individuals for immigration violations. This power would be exclusively limited to federal immigration officers and authorized employees of the Department of Homeland Security , with only a few specified exceptions. The overarching goal of the legislation is to clarify that immigration enforcement is a function solely of the Federal Government.
