Relating to agreements between local law enforcement agencies and United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enforce federal immigration law.

HB 2361 requires Texas local law enforcement agencies to either enter into written agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under federal Section 287(g) to enforce immigration law or document all efforts to secure such an agreement. Agencies must dedicate a minimum number of officers to immigration enforcement if an agreement is signed and maintain records indefinitely. Failure to comply may result in the Attorney General issuing a notice, followed by potential legal action and denial of state grant funds for the political subdivision. This bill directly affects all Texas county and municipal law enforcement agencies and their local governments.
