Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
The bill strengthens federal, State, and local cooperation in enforcing U.S. immigration laws by encouraging State and local assistance, conditioning certain federal grant funds on cooperation, and requiring information-sharing with Federal authorities. It directs inclusion of immigration violators in the NCIC, expands the Institutional Removal Program, requires training and grants to jurisdictions that assist enforcement, creates 20 additional federal detention facilities, sets procedures for transfer of custody to Federal authorities within 48 hours, and provides immunity for State and local officers and agencies acting under the law.
Left emphasizes civil-rights and community-trust harms; right emphasizes enforcement efficiency.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a substantive policy change that is comparatively detailed in statutory amendments, assignment of implementing actors, and specified deadlines, but leaves major funding, safeguard, and some procedural specifics to agency discretion.

GAO audits and annual reporting requirements are included, and appropriations are authorized as necessary.
High fiscal cost, constitutional and civil-rights exposure, and strong ideological content lower prospects absent major narrowing or bipartisan compromise.
