The bill establishes the Developing Effective Policies on Orderly Removal and Transportation (DEPORT) task force in Michigan, which is tasked with making recommendations to the legislature regarding policies that facilitate the deportation of illegal immigrants, enhance training for law enforcement in dealing with illegal immigrants, and improve collaboration with federal agencies for the identification and deportation of illegal immigrants within the criminal justice system. The task force will consist of various appointed members, including representatives from law enforcement, local government, and experts in combating drug and human trafficking. The speaker of the house of representatives is responsible for appointing the members and overseeing the task force's operations.
The task force is required to provide preliminary and final reports to the legislature on its recommendations within specified timeframes. It is also granted the authority to request legal assistance, accept donations, and receive support from state departments in carrying out its duties. The task force will be dissolved one year after its members are appointed. Additionally, any writings prepared by the task force will be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
