This bill introduces a new section to South Dakota law that prohibits state entities and political subdivisions from adopting or implementing policies that either limit communication with federal agencies regarding immigration status or grant unlawful noncitizens any form of lawful presence or status within the state. Specifically, it states that no policy, order, or ordinance can restrict individuals from cooperating with federal officials to verify or report immigration status, nor can it provide rights to noncitizens who are unlawfully present in the U.S.

Additionally, any policy that violates this new section will be deemed void, and law enforcement officers cannot face disciplinary action for refusing to comply with such policies. This legislation aims to reinforce cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and prevent local entities from enacting measures that could undermine federal immigration laws.
