HR 8077
To amend section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to make the entering into of memorandums of agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement a condition of eligibility for the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant program
Progress
Timeline
- Mar 25Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
**What it does:** This bill would change the rules for a federal grant program that provides funding to local police departments for community policing efforts (called COPS grants). Under the proposed law, police departments would only be eligible for these grants if they first sign agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to help with immigration enforcement. **Who it affects:** - Local police departments that apply for COPS grants - ICE and federal immigration enforcement - Local communities served by these police departments **What would change:** Police departments would face a choice: either agree to cooperate with ICE on immigration matters or lose access to federal funding for community policing programs. Currently, COPS grants are available without this immigration enforcement requirement. The bill is still in committee and has not become law. This would link local policing funding to participation in federal immigration enforcement activities.
