Immigration (Sanctuary Policies)

This resolution (SR 131) urges Mississippi local law enforcement agencies to enter into 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These agreements would allow trained local officers to assist ICE in identifying and removing non-citizens who are in the U.S. illegally or have criminal charges. The resolution does not create new law but calls on local agencies to partner with federal authorities on immigration enforcement under existing federal programs. It was referred to committee but died there in April 2025, meaning it did not become law.
