| REPUBLICAN CAUCUS ADDRESSES SANCTUARY CITIES
Republicans in the Texas House filed legislation that prevents local policies from undercutting the enforcement of immigration law Several governmental entities in Texas have adopted or may intend to adopt "sanctuary city" policies that purposefully hinder or prohibit local law enforcement cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs and prohibit officers from inquiring about a person's immigration status. House Republicans are working to address this issue by: - Prohibiting municipalities, counties, special districts, local entity employees, and district attorneys from adopting rules, orders, ordinances or policies that prohibit or discourage the enforcement of state and federal immigration laws.
- Requiring local entities to cooperate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding criminal illegal aliens.
- Ensuring that law enforcement agencies must notify the magistrate or judge if the federal government has identified a person as an undocumented alien or if a federal detainer request has been issued.
