The proposed bill would amend current statutes by introducing new requirements for state and local law enforcement agencies regarding immigration enforcement. Specifically, it would mandate that each law enforcement agency and relevant state or local officials provide immigration enforcement training to ensure compliance with federal law. Additionally, by January 1, 2027, county sheriff's offices would be required to enter into memorandums of agreement (MOAs) with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to participate in the 287(g) Program or a similar federal program, ensuring that at least 10% of their officers are trained under these agreements.

Furthermore, the bill would preempt any state or local policies that restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities and would allow state and local agencies to utilize federal resources for immigration enforcement. It also grants the Attorney General the authority to investigate any alleged violations of these provisions and requires a written report within 30 days of such requests. The definitions of "law enforcement agency" and "law enforcement officer" would be clarified to include specific agencies and personnel involved in these enforcement activities.
