Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends federal law to mandate and protect state/local cooperation with ICE on immigration status inquiries, detainers, and enforcement; overrides contrary sanctuary-style policies; conditions federal grants on compliance; clarifies and strengthens detainer authority with probable-cause standards, immunity, removal to federal court, and a private right of action against releasing jurisdictions; all provisions expand the scope of state and local immigration enforcement.
