(ii) engaging in any plans to share resources and coordinate detention activities with the United States bureau of immigration and customs enforcement
⚠ Quote could not be matched to the bill text: treat this label with caution
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses immigration-enforcement by imposing multiple new restrictions on municipal cooperation with federal immigration detention and enforcement activities, including bans on using local resources for new/expanded facilities, limits on contracts, and requirements for state legislative approval; it also creates an oversight committee focused on detention standards. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues or abortion.
