Bill overview
The PROTECT Immigration Act aims to limit the role of state and local law enforcement in immigration enforcement. It specifically restricts these agencies from investigating, apprehending, or detaining individuals for immigration violations, except in limited circumstances like mass influxes, harboring illegal aliens, or dealing with previously deported felons. The bill reverses a previous policy that allowed local and state officers to partner with ICE for immigration enforcement activities. This legislation prioritizes federal control over immigration enforcement functions.
