Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends s. 908.104 to mandate support for federal immigration enforcement and require (rather than authorize) transport of individuals subject to detainers, expanding state/local cooperation and detention/transport roles. It retains and slightly revises exceptions for crime victims/witnesses without altering the overall enforcement framework in a restrictive way.
