This bill would eliminate a federal program that currently allows state and local police officers to enforce immigration laws through written agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Under the current system, known as Section 287(g), thousands of local law enforcement agencies can investigate, arrest, and detain people suspected of immigration violations. The proposed legislation would end this arrangement and declare that immigration enforcement is exclusively a federal government function handled by trained immigration officers and Department of Homeland Security employees. The bill was introduced by a group of House Democrats in December 2025 and was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. No specific funding amounts or implementation timeline are outlined in the legislation provided.
