117-hr-9003 117 hr 9003 Empowering States to Deport Illegal Immigrants Act Immigration 2022-09-28 2022-11-01 Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship. House Rep. Gosar, Paul A. [R-AZ-4] AZ R G000565 0 Empowering States to Deport Illegal Immigrants Act This bill authorizes states to take actions to enforce federal immigration law. Specifically, the bill authorizes states to authorize state and local law enforcement to enforce certain provisions of federal immigration law, including provisions relating to unlawful entry and employing unauthorized non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law). State prosecutors must prosecute every case brought by a state under this bill. The bill also abrogates a 2012 Supreme Court ruling that invalidated an Arizona law that made it a crime for unauthorized non-U.S. nationals to work in the state. Specifically, the court ruled that the Arizona law was preempted by federal immigration law. 2023-09-12T17:30:28Z
