Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), along with Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Mike Rounds (R-SD), introduced legislation this week to allow local and state law enforcement to enforce federal immigration law.
The legislation, known as the Empowering Law Enforcement Act, aims to combat the Biden administration’s gutting of interior immigration enforcement through a series of “sanctuary country” orders that are preventing about nine-in-ten deportations of illegal aliens by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
The legislation grants local and state law enforcement the ability to investigate, identify, apprehend, arrest, detain, or transfer illegal aliens while extending the period by which illegal aliens can be detained in ICE custody to ensure they are not released back into American communities.
