What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill allows crime victims to sue state and local governments that don't cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. If someone is a victim of a serious crime committed by a non-citizen, they can sue the local jurisdiction if that jurisdiction didn't follow federal requests to hold or report information about the non-citizen who committed the crime. The bill also protects local governments and their employees from being sued when they do cooperate with federal immigration requests by treating them as federal agents in those situations.
