A bill for an act relating to participation by law enforcement agencies in immigration programs.

HSB 187 requires all Iowa law enforcement agencies to enter written agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by January 1, 2026, to participate in two federal immigration programs: the jail enforcement model and the warrant service officer program under Section 287(g) of federal law. This applies directly to every law enforcement agency in Iowa, mandating formal cooperation with ICE for immigration enforcement. The bill specifies that agencies must establish these agreements for both federal program models. It overrides a state law that would have exempted agencies from complying if funding wasn't provided, making the requirement mandatory.
