An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Immigration Enforcement And Cooperation.

DE HB368 aims to change how Delaware handles immigration enforcement and cooperation. It seeks to clarify the roles of state and local law enforcement in relation to federal immigration laws. The bill is focused on ensuring that local resources are not used for federal immigration enforcement activities.

Supporters of DE HB368 would highlight that the bill promotes community trust and safety by preventing local law enforcement from acting as immigration agents. They would argue that it protects vulnerable populations and allows local police to focus on crime prevention rather than immigration status.

Critics of DE HB368 might argue that the bill undermines federal immigration laws and could lead to an increase in illegal immigration. They may contend that it restricts local law enforcement's ability to cooperate with federal agencies, potentially compromising public safety.
