AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AFFAIRS AND GOVERNMENT -- LIMITATIONS ON IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COOPERATION
Committee recommended measure be held for further study
Summary
The bill prevents state and local law‑enforcement agencies in Rhode Island from entering 287(g) agreements that give them federal immigration powers and stops them from arresting or holding people solely on immigration detainers or administrative warrants. It also bars the use of police resources for civil immigration enforcement, while allowing cooperation on unrelated criminal cases and requiring agencies to record and publish annual statistics on immigration‑related requests. The measure aims to keep local policing focused on public safety rather than immigration matters.
