SB 658 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to agreements between sheriffs and the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enforce federal immigration law.

SB 658 requires sheriffs in Texas counties with 250,000+ residents to seek written agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under federal programs like Section 287(g), allowing local officers to enforce federal immigration law. Sheriffs in smaller counties may also request such agreements. The bill establishes a grant program to reimburse small-county sheriffs (under 250,000 population) for costs related to participating in these agreements, covering stipends, reporting, equipment, and other approved expenses. It mandates annual reporting by participating sheriffs to the attorney general and requires the attorney general to publish an annual summary of agreement participation for state leadership.
