SF 3842 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

State, county, and local government units entering into certain immigration enforcement agreements prohibition and certain existing immigration enforcement agreements termination requirement provision

SF 3842 bans Minnesota state, county, and local government units - including sheriffs' offices - from entering new agreements with federal authorities that allow them to enforce civil immigration law. It also requires all existing agreements of this type to be terminated by the day after the bill becomes law. The bill defines "immigration enforcement agreements" broadly to include contracts, memorandums, or intergovernmental agreements that authorize local entities to enforce federal immigration rules. This directly affects all Minnesota local governments and their agencies that currently have or might seek such federal cooperation arrangements.
