The Letter

Subject Oppose Mandatory State Immigration Enforcement Programs

Tennessee forced all 95 county sheriffs into ICE 287(g) agreements under threat of losing state funding. Citizenship checks now attach to cancer screenings, childcare applications, and traffic stops. Texas spent $11.1 billion on Operation Lone Star.

Oppose state legislation that mandates local immigration enforcement. Immigration is a federal responsibility. Forcing local officials into enforcement roles undermines community trust and local policing authority.
