AI Generated Summary

This legislative bill, proposed by Rymer and Franson in the State of Minnesota, aims to prevent local governments from enacting policies or ordinances that restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The bill mandates that no local or state laws can stop government officials or employees from sharing, maintaining, or exchanging information regarding individuals' citizenship or immigration status with federal immigration agencies. This is intended to support the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Additionally, the bill requires that if a county attorney learns that a public employee or government entity has not complied with these requirements, they must investigate and possibly seek a court order to ensure compliance.

In simple terms, this bill seeks to make sure that all levels of government in Minnesota cooperate fully with federal immigration authorities and share information about people's immigration or citizenship status to enforce immigration laws more effectively.
