Quick Glance: Louisiana Advances Bill for Local Border Enforcement
- Louisiana's Republican-controlled senate passed a bill that would allow state and local authorities to arrest and jail individuals who entered the US illegally in the state.
- Supporters argue Louisiana has the right to defend the nation, while opponents claim the bill is unconstitutional and will fuel negative rhetoric towards migrants.
- Similarly to other Republican states, Louisiana has been advancing tougher immigration enforcement measures, including creating the crime of illegal entry or re-entry into Louisiana.
- The bill proposes penalties of up to a year in prison and a $4,000 fine for a first offense, and up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine for a second offense. It would also authorize an interstate compact with Texas and other states for border security efforts.
