287(g) Program Protection Act
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to allow qualified state and local law enforcement agencies to perform certain immigration enforcement activities if the agency requests such authority. DHS may refuse to grant the request only if there is a compelling reason.
Currently, DHS is authorized to grant such authority but is not required to do so.
DHS must annually report on (1) the performance of these enforcement activities, and (2) the plans to expand these activities to additional states and localities.
