ImmunityRight removed

Plain‑English summary, cross‑checked against the official bill text.

If passed, the state would protect police and local agencies from being sued over immigration detainer actions, and could fine employers who hire undocumented workers.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Citizens could lose the chance to challenge police holding people on immigration detainers, while businesses may face new penalties for hiring undocumented staff, shifting power to the state.
