Immigration Law Enforcement by State and
Local Police
National Immigration Forum
The enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws has historically been a
federal duty. Federal legislators set U.S. immigration policies, and federal
agencies administer immigrant admissions and removals. While state and
local police often work with federal agents on criminal matters, they
generally steer clear of the enforcement of administrative/civil immigration
laws. In fact, scores of cities, counties, and even states have policies in
place that explicitly limit their police departments’ ability to coordinate with
federal immigration authorities outside of criminal investigations.
As has been historically recognized by the legislature, executive branch, and
the courts, state and local police do not have the authority to enforce federal
civil immigration laws. Attempting to enforce immigration laws makes local
police vulnerable to lawsuits stemming from liability, particularly when they
arrest the wrong person or use racial profiling to determine who to
scrutinize.
