Summary
Repeals the federal ban on state and local sharing of immigration-related information. This bill would remove Section 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 so local officials can decide whether to share immigration data under their own law.
Show full summary
- State and local governments: Restores local control over whether and how officials share immigration information, subject to applicable State or local law.
- Federal enforcement: Explicitly preserves the Federal Government's authority to enforce civil immigration laws and to obtain information through other authorized means.
- Communities and public safety: Finds that information-sharing rules affect trust between residents and public institutions and that broader restrictions can complicate emergency response and policing.
- Legal and administrative effects: Aims to reduce litigation and uncertainty about how the statute interacts with Federal grants and local operations.

Local governments can share immigration data
This bill would repeal the federal ban that limited communications between State and local governments and federal immigration authorities. If enacted, State and local agencies would be able to communicate, cooperate, or share information with federal immigration officials, subject to applicable State or local law. This could increase exposure to federal immigration enforcement for immigrant and noncitizen households and change how local agencies set information policies. The repeal would take effect upon enactment and would not be written to limit the Federal Government's authority to enforce immigration laws.
