Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates 'protected areas' (hospitals, schools, prosecutor offices, and other state/local facilities designated by the AG) and imposes misdemeanor penalties for allowing or performing federal immigration enforcement activities there without a judicial warrant or exigent circumstances. This directly limits state/local cooperation with and facilitation of federal immigration enforcement in key locations, creating a form of limited-sanctuary policy.
