The bill H. 3030, introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly, mandates that county and municipal law enforcement agencies participate in at least one of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Section 287(g) programs. This program allows state and local law enforcement to perform certain immigration enforcement functions under ICE's direction. Currently, only a few sheriff's offices in South Carolina are involved in these programs. The bill emphasizes the need for local law enforcement to utilize available tools to enforce federal immigration laws, citing concerns over the increase of undocumented individuals due to federal inaction on border security.

Additionally, the bill requires law enforcement agencies to fully cooperate with the U.S. Attorney's Office upon discovering illegal operations aimed at bringing undocumented individuals into the state. This cooperation includes initiating RICO-based seizures to confiscate assets used in these illegal activities. The resolution is set to take effect once approved by the Governor.
