Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates that local law enforcement agencies must seek and enter 287(g) agreements with ICE to enforce federal immigration law, dedicate officers to such enforcement, document failed attempts, and face penalties including injunctions and loss of state funds for noncompliance; all provisions expand the scope of state/local immigration enforcement via required federal cooperation.
