Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds multiple provisions to the executive law that bar the governor from using executive orders or other powers to limit state agency cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, and directly prohibit state agencies from inhibiting such collaboration. This expands the scope of state-federal cooperation on immigration enforcement.
