Summary
The bill would stop any Maine state or local law‑enforcement agency or officer from entering written or oral agreements that give federal immigration authorities enforcement powers. It specifically targets collaborations such as those authorized under 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g). Supporters say the rule keeps local policing focused on public‑safety duties rather than immigration matters.
