Bill overview
This bill establishes new laws to prohibit illegal entry and presence in Michigan by aliens and to penalize those who violate these rules. It creates criminal penalties, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, depending on prior offenses. The bill also provides legal protections for law enforcement officials and government employees involved in immigration enforcement, including immunity from liability and indemnification for certain actions. Furthermore, it restricts law enforcement’s ability to make arrests in specific locations, such as schools and places of worship, and outlines procedures for releasing individuals apprehended while violating immigration laws.
