Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates that sheriffs in counties of 100,000+ population request and enter 287(g) agreements with ICE (or similar) to enforce federal immigration law, requires resource allocation for implementation, mandates annual follow-up requests if initially denied, and creates a state grant program to fund participation costs for smaller counties; these provisions expand state/local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and related activities such as detention and transport.
