Definitions

Immigration enforcement agreement: any contract, agreement, intergovernmental service agreement, or memorandum of understanding with the federal government that authorizes a state, a unit of local government, a county sheriff, or any state/local agency officer, employee, or agent to enforce civil immigration law.

Prohibition

The state, any unit of local government, a county sheriff, or any state/local agency officer, employee, or agent may not enter into an immigration enforcement agreement.
