State Immigration Enforcement Act
Introduced Jan 7, 2025 by Rep. Andy Biggs
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
State Immigration Enforcement Act
This bill authorizes state and local governments to enact and enforce laws that penalize conduct prohibited under federal immigration law. Such state and local laws may only impose civil and criminal penalties that do not exceed the penalties imposed by federal law.
The bill also revokes a federal law that preempts (blocks) state and local laws that impose civil or criminal penalties for employing non-U.S. nationals who are not authorized to work in the United States.
