Immigration - As introduced, requires, rather than permits, each law enforcement agency to execute an agreement with the United States department of homeland security to participate in the 287(g) program and the warrant service officer program for purposes of enforcing immigration laws in collaboration with the United States bureau of immigration and customs enforcement (ICE). - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7 and Title 8.
SB 1364 requires all Tennessee law enforcement agencies to enter into mandatory agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for two federal immigration programs: the 287(g) program (allowing local officers to enforce federal immigration laws) and the warrant service officer program. This replaces previous language that permitted agencies to choose whether to participate. The bill directly affects every local police department and sheriff's office in Tennessee by making federal immigration enforcement collaboration a legal obligation. The key change is shifting from voluntary participation to a mandatory requirement under Tennessee law.
