This law says very clearly that no local government entity or official may prohibit or in any way restrict any government entity or official from sending to or receiving from Immigration and Customs Enforcement information regarding the citizenship or immigration status of any individual. Every day in cities across America, elected officials break that law and millions of illegal aliens benefit from the lack of enforcement.
