Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would require Kentucky State Police and local law enforcement agencies to enter into formal agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to help enforce federal immigration law. It defines three specific models for how that cooperation would work, covering activities in jails, task forces, and warrant service. If passed, it would make this type of federal-local immigration partnership mandatory rather than optional for Kentucky law enforcement. Who it may affect: local law enforcement agencies, county jails and jailers, sheriffs, and Kentucky State Police, as well as immigrants living in Kentucky communities.
