Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds Executive Law § 837-y to require the state division to facilitate local law enforcement participation in the federal 287(g) program, including deputization, arrests, detention, deportation collaboration, ICE access to facilities, training, funding, applications, and oversight. All provisions expand state/local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement focused on criminal migrants; no provisions restrict enforcement, address other listed topics, or are purely neutral/funding-only.
