Extra Justice Assistance grants for ICE partners

If enacted, this bill would let any State or local government with a written 287(g) agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apply to the Attorney General for extra Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) money. The Attorney General, working with the Secretary of Homeland Security, would confirm the 287(g) agreement and could raise the applicant's annual JAG award by up to 10% of the applicant's average annual JAG allocation over the three most recent years they received JAG funding.

Any increase would operate notwithstanding section 505 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968.
