PROTECT Immigration Act of 2025

This bill would end the federal program, known as 287(g), that lets state and local police officers investigate, arrest, and detain immigrants under written agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It would rewrite that section of immigration law to say that only immigration officers and authorized Department of Homeland Security employees may ask about or check a person's immigration or citizenship status. Only those federal officials could investigate, arrest, or detain someone for violating immigration law. A few existing exceptions in other parts of federal law would still apply.
