Creates a state grant program to reimburse local law enforcement agencies for the costs of sending officers to ICE's 287(g) training program, so more local officers are likely to be trained and available to perform federal immigration enforcement functions.
The office of the governor shall develop and maintain a grant program that awards grants for the expenses incurred by a local law enforcement agency related to the attendance of a law enforcement officer of the agency in a training program.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a grant program administered by the governor's office to cover salaries, overtime, and other costs for local law enforcement officers to attend ICE's 287(g) immigration authority delegation training. This incentivizes and expands participation in state-federal cooperation for immigration enforcement by removing financial barriers for agencies.
