AN ACT PROHIBITING THE APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL BY THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR ANY OTHER STATE AGENCY FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS DURING DEPORTATION PROCEEDINGS.
HB 6157 prohibits the Office of the Attorney General and other state agencies from appointing legal counsel for undocumented immigrants during federal deportation proceedings. This bill directly affects undocumented immigrants facing removal from the U.S., preventing state-funded legal representation in these cases. The key provision bans state agencies from providing attorneys during federal immigration court processes, ensuring no state resources are used to support such cases. The bill does not change federal law or immigration policy, only restricting state agency actions. (2 sentences, as it is a procedural prohibition.)
