To House Judiciary
Summary
The bill forces every West Virginia law‑enforcement agency that receives state money to sign a 287(g) agreement with ICE, and it obligates jails with 300 or more beds to use the most comprehensive jail‑based model. Agencies that don’t comply risk losing state public‑safety funds, while the Attorney General is given authority to enforce the rules. The measure adds reporting, audits and limited immunity for participating officers.
