Direction
Immigration enforcementemployment e verifyAI label

Immigration enforcementstate federal cooperationAI label
Requires governmental entities and private employers to forward E-Verify non-verification notices to the state Department of Public Safety, which must then notify ICE of potential persons not lawfully present, so more state-federal cooperation on immigration enforcement.
the department shall notify the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement of its determination.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates E-Verify participation for all covered employers (expanding employment-e-verify) and creates a notice-and-referral process from employers to DPS to ICE (expanding state-federal-cooperation). It also creates a criminal offense for violations and defines 'person not lawfully present.' No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
