An Act to Facilitate Compliance with Federal Immigration Law by State and Local Government Entities

This bill, called "the Public Safety and Protection Act," would prevent state and local government agencies in Maine from creating rules that stop them from helping to enforce federal immigration laws. This includes sharing information about immigration status, responding to immigration detainers, and allowing federal immigration officers into jails. The bill also sets up a process for residents or lawmakers to report violations to the Attorney General, who can then investigate and potentially fine agencies that do not comply.
