HB 2361 requires local law enforcement agencies in Texas to request and enter into agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows local officers to enforce federal immigration laws. If an agreement is executed, agencies must dedicate a minimum number of officers to assist with immigration enforcement. Agencies that fail to comply may face injunctions from the Texas Attorney General, and political subdivisions that do not enforce the requirement could lose state grant funding. Law enforcement agencies must document all attempts to secure an agreement with ICE and submit records to the Attorney General.
