PROTECT Immigration Act of 2025

This bill amends Section 287(g) of immigration law to restrict immigration enforcement authority exclusively to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and DHS employees. It removes state and local law enforcement agencies' ability to verify immigration status, investigate, or arrest individuals for immigration violations under current 287(g) agreements. The change directly affects local police departments that previously participated in immigration enforcement through federal partnerships. The bill does not create new policies but alters existing authority to limit enforcement to federal officers only.
