AFL-CIO Key Vote: OPPOSE
Mandatory ICE Enforcement Duties for County Jail Officers (Veto Override)
This bill requires county jail staff to carry out federal immigration detention duties — including paperwork, notifications, and custody holds for ICE — with no funding for training, staffing, or compensation. It also allows individual sheriffs to enter federal enforcement agreements without approval from the county commission, bypassing the governing body that employs and is accountable for jail workers. A NAY vote on the veto override would have upheld the Governor's veto and protected county employees from these unfunded mandates.
