Texas SB8 requires certain sheriffs to enter into agreements with federal immigration authorities and establishes a grant program to cover related.

Texas SB8 mandates that sheriffs in counties with populations of 100,000 or more must request and enter into agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enforce federal immigration law. Smaller counties can also enter into such agreements. The bill establishes a grant program to cover costs for sheriffs participating in these agreements, with funds distributed proportionally based on county population. The attorney general can take action against non-compliant sheriffs and recover related expenses. The comptroller must report annually on participation and grant distribution.
