HR 1680, the UPLIFT Act, would require all state and local government employees, including police, to share information about a person's immigration status with federal agencies like ICE when asked. It would prohibit states and cities from preventing their employees from cooperating with federal immigration agents or from participating in private immigration detention facilities. The bill also strengthens the legal standing of ICE detainers, clarifying what legally justifies a hold and shielding local agencies from lawsuits when they comply.
The bill would directly affect state and local governments that currently operate under sanctuary policies, as well as undocumented immigrants held in local jails and private companies that run detention facilities. Crime victims are also affected, as the bill creates a new federal right to sue a city or state if an undocumented person released against an ICE detainer later committed a serious crime such as murder or rape against them.
Localities with sanctuary policies would be required to change how their employees handle immigration information and cooperation with federal agents. Undocumented immigrants in local jails could be held longer under ICE detainers that local agencies would now have stronger legal footing to honor.
