Immigration enforcementstate federal cooperationAI label
Prohibits state entities and law enforcement from inquiring into immigration status or using resources for civil immigration enforcement except when required by law or tied to criminal investigation, reducing cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
No law enforcement officers shall inquire about an individual's immigration status unless investigating such individual's illegal activity, provided however that such inquiry is relevant to the illegal activity under investigation.
Bars law enforcement from taking police action (including detaining) solely based on undocumented status or for civil immigration violations, limiting detention and transport tied to immigration enforcement.
Law enforcement officers shall not use resources, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting and apprehending any individual suspected or wanted only for violating a civil immigration offense.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill proposes a constitutional amendment that limits inquiries into immigration status by state officers/employees and law enforcement (except for eligibility, legal requirements, or criminal investigations), prohibits disclosure to federal authorities for civil immigration enforcement, and restricts law enforcement actions or resource use for civil immigration matters only. These provisions substantively restrict immigration enforcement and state-federal cooperation on immigration, creating sanctuary-like policies; no other listed topics are addressed.
