Requires more law enforcement agencies to enter 287(g) agreements with ICE, provide consent for officers to act as immigration officers, and ensure 10% of officers are available for immigration duties, so more immigration enforcement by state and local agencies.
Each state and county law enforcement agency, and any other law enforcement agency with more than 25 sworn or certified law enforcement officers, must enter into a written agreement with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement to participate in the immigration program established under s. 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
Creates and funds the Unauthorized Alien Transport Program to facilitate detention, transportation, and deportation of unauthorized aliens in cooperation with federal law, so more state involvement in immigration enforcement operations.
The Unauthorized Alien Transport Program is created within the Division of Emergency Management within the Executive Office of the Governor for the purpose of facilitating immigration enforcement consistent with federal law, including, but not limited to, detention, transportation, and deportation.
Repeals the prior 2023 version of the Unauthorized Alien Transport Program while reenacting and expanding it with new funding, officer requirements, and gubernatorial oversight, so continued and strengthened state immigration enforcement.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands state and local participation in federal immigration enforcement via mandatory 287(g) agreements, officer availability mandates, consent requirements, a dedicated transport program using National Guard, and substantial funding, while repealing only the prior chapter to replace it with this expanded framework.
