Mississippi Immigration Enforcement Act of 2025; enact.

SB 2511, the Mississippi Immigration Enforcement Act of 2025, creates a special fund to support state immigration enforcement by imposing a fee on money transmitters (e.g., Western Union). The fee - $7.50 per transaction under $500 plus 1.5% on amounts over $500 - is collected from businesses and directed into the "Illegal Immigration Enforcement Fund," which funds the new Illegal Immigration Enforcement Unit within the Department of Public Safety. This unit is authorized to enforce immigration laws under federal Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, requiring county detention facilities to enter into agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by a specific deadline. The bill also prohibits contracts with carriers knowingly transporting unauthorized aliens, though it died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
