MODERATE

This bill version expands the prohibition on state law enforcement assisting federal immigration agents to explicitly include civil immigration enforcement, not just actions exceeding their authority. It adds a new subsection clarifying that the ban does not prevent officers from performing their standard state duties, complying with court orders, or sharing information required by law. The bill also introduces detailed definitions for key terms like 'assist,' 'facilitate,' and 'at or near' to clarify the scope of prohibited activities.

Scope change

The bill's scope was broadened to explicitly cover civil immigration enforcement operations, whereas the previous version focused primarily on actions exceeding federal authority. It also added specific exemptions to ensure state law enforcement can continue their regular duties.
