Some local leaders resist federal efforts to enforce mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, arguing that such enforcement harms public safety and public health. Sanctuary cities have policies that limit cooperation with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, but these local policies are at odds with federal law, which preempts state-level immigration policies.
Some states, like Texas and Florida, require local governments to cooperate with ICE, while others, like Oregon and Illinois, prohibit it. The state of Texas has gone further, enacting its own immigration laws, such as S.B. 4, which criminalizes illegal entry and empowers local officers to arrest individuals suspected of being undocumented. These laws are currently being challenged in court.
