SB 2015 prohibits Tennessee state agencies from using state funds, personnel, or resources to support U.S. immigration and customs enforcement activities within the state. It directly affects state law enforcement, correctional facilities, and government departments that might otherwise collaborate with federal immigration authorities. The bill bans state funding for any activities related to immigration enforcement, including criminal investigations or enforcement of immigration laws. This is a spending restriction that would prevent state resources from being directed toward federal immigration operations. The bill applies to all state resources and takes effect upon becoming law.
