Immigration enforcementstate federal cooperationAI label
Bars schools from cooperating with immigration authorities by limiting access, prohibiting resource use, barring disclosure of records, and requiring specific protocols, so less immigration enforcement.
No resources of any public or charter school shall be utilized for immigration enforcement, including the time of school personnel and school resource officers and use of school property.
Creates civil actions and penalties for violations of school immigration-enforcement limits, and requires training, reporting, and public posting of rights, affecting enforcement practices.
A person whose rights under this section are violated or may be violated may bring a civil action for equitable and declaratory relief if such person has reasonable cause to believe a violation of this section has occurred or may occur.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates sanctuary-like protections in schools by restricting immigration enforcement access, cooperation, data sharing, and resource use, with exceptions only for imminent safety or valid judicial warrants. It adds civil remedies, reporting requirements, and training but does not expand enforcement.
