Texas SB134 requires municipalities and counties to enter agreements with ICE to enforce federal immigration law.

Texas SB134 amends the Local Government Code to mandate that each municipality and county enter into a written agreement with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to authorize local officers and employees to enforce federal immigration law. The agreement must specify its scope, duration, and limitations. Non-compliant municipalities or counties face potential injunctive relief actions by the attorney general in Travis County and denial of state grant funds for the subsequent fiscal year.
