HB 177 directs Tennessee's Department of Safety to study how federal immigration laws are enforced in the state, including detentions, removals, investigations, and related challenges. The department must submit a report with findings and recommendations to the governor and legislature by January 1, 2026. This bill does not change immigration laws or create new policies - it only requires a study and report on existing enforcement practices. The bill is procedural, focusing on gathering information rather than implementing new rules.
