Alabama House bill would allow local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws

An Alabama House committee Wednesday held a public hearing on a bill that would allow state and local law enforcement to arrest people based on immigration status. The bill allows police and sheriffs’ deputies to transport undocumented immigrants and arrest people based on their immigration status or for violating federal immigration law. It would withhold funding from agencies that do not comply with the law. The bill gives police officers and sheriffs’ deputies the discretion for deciding who they will approach to confirm a person’s immigration status. The committee could vote on the bill next week.
