UPLIFT Act

This bill requires state and local governments to cooperate more with federal immigration enforcement. It stops them from banning or restricting the sharing of information about someone's immigration status with federal agencies, and also stops them from refusing to help with federal immigration laws or work with federal law enforcement. State and local governments cannot prohibit asking about immigration status when someone is suspected of a crime, reporting certain encounters to the federal government, or providing information when federal agencies request it. The bill also makes it easier for the Department of Homeland Security to issue detainers by allowing them for people arrested for any criminal charges or motor vehicle violations if there's probable cause the person can be deported, and it provides legal protection for state and local officials who follow these detainers.
