Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Arrington, Jodey C. [R-TX-19]
Introduced
Summary
Federal cost recovery for military deployments tied to state noncooperation on immigration enforcement. This bill would let the Department of Defense invoice a state's governor when Federal military personnel, including the National Guard and Selected Reserve, deploy because civil disturbances stem from lawful Federal immigration enforcement and a State or local government failed to provide reasonable cooperation or coordination.
