What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "PROTECT Immigration Act of 2025," aims to end a specific federal program. This program currently allows State and local law enforcement officers to investigate, apprehend, and detain aliens through written agreements with the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The legislation seeks to discontinue this authority for local officers. It further clarifies that immigration enforcement is solely a function of the Federal Government.
