Obstructing legal process crime expansion

Summary

The legislation adds new criminal conduct for obstructing legal processes, including approaching peace officers within 25 feet during arrests, and requires county sheriffs to enter agreements to hold individuals subject to federal immigration detainers without county board approval. It also prohibits cities and counties from adopting ordinances that limit or prohibit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The changes aim to strengthen state‑wide enforcement of immigration and public‑safety laws.
