Immigration enforcement otherAI label

Restricts immigration enforcement model confidence 80%

Defines 'immigration enforcement' broadly to include efforts on any federal civil or criminal immigration law penalizing presence, entry, reentry, or employment, and requires notifications and safety-plan procedures for it until 2031.

For purposes of this subparagraph, “immigration enforcement” includes any and all efforts to investigate, enforce, or assist in the investigation or enforcement of any federal civil immigration law, and also includes any and all efforts to investigate, enforce, or assist in the investigation or enforcement of any federal criminal immigration law that penalizes a person’s presence in, entry, or reentry to, or employment in, the United States.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds requirements for K-12 comprehensive school safety plans and charter petitions to include specific notification procedures when immigration enforcement is confirmed on campus (until 2031), mandates similar notifications by CSU, CCC, and independent postsecondary institutions, and broadly defines immigration enforcement; these provisions limit cooperation with and visibility of federal immigration actions on educational sites.
