SB 134 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to agreements between municipalities and counties and United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enforce federal immigration law.

Texas Senate Bill 134 requires all Texas municipalities and counties to enter into written agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under federal Section 287(g) to authorize local officers to enforce federal immigration law. The bill mandates that agreements specify scope, duration, and limitations, and imposes penalties for non-compliance, including potential lawsuits by the attorney general and denial of state grant funds for the following fiscal year. Local governments failing to secure such agreements could face court-ordered injunctions and lose access to state funding. This legislation directly affects every Texas city and county, making federal immigration enforcement partnerships a mandatory condition for receiving state grants.
