Wyoming residents can seek court enforcement

People who lawfully live in Wyoming and have their permanent home there can ask a court to enforce this law. They can seek a writ of mandamus, a court order requiring a noncomplying state or local official or employee to comply. This remedy seeks compliance, not a cash award.

Wyoming bans state and local sanctuaries

Wyoming agencies and local governments cannot block staff from reporting immigration status information to federal immigration enforcement officials. This protection for sharing information applies within official duties and covers officials, employees, contractors and agents. Covered information includes immigration status and the identity or location of people reasonably believed to be here illegally or involved in terrorism. Information protected by confidentiality laws or legal privilege is excluded. State and local governments cannot adopt sanctuary designations, and the governor cannot declare Wyoming a sanctuary state by executive order. The law took effect immediately upon enactment.
