Ask ICE for one, and sign it if offered.
The bill requires every Texas city and county to ask U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for a written 287(g) agreement, and to sign one if offered, so local officers and employees can enforce federal immigration law. It lets the attorney general sue a city or county that fails to comply in a Travis County district court and recover the costs of the suit. A city or county that a court finally finds out of compliance loses state grant funds for the next state fiscal year, under rules the comptroller must adopt.

No. 2390 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to agreements between municipalities and counties and United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enforce federal immigration law. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION 1. Chapter 370, Local Government Code, is amended by adding Section 370.010 to read as follows: Sec. 370.010. IMMIGRATION LAW ENFORCEMENT AGREEMENTS; INJUNCTION; DENIAL OF STATE GRANT FUNDS. (a) The governing body of each municipality and the commissioners court of each county shall request and, as offered, enter into a written agreement with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Section 287(g), Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. Section 1357), to authorize officers and employees of the municipality or county to enforce federal immigration law. (b) An agreement entered into under this section must include the scope, duration, and limitations of the authority. (c) The attorney general may bring an action against a municipality or county that fails to comply with Subsection (a) in a district court in Travis County for appropriate injunctive relief. (d) The attorney general may recover reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining relief under Subsection (c), including court costs, reasonable attorney's fees, investigative costs, witness fees, and deposition costs. (e) A municipality or county may not receive state grant funds, and state grant funds for the municipality or county shall be denied, for the state fiscal year following the year in which a final judicial determination in an action brought under Subsection (c) is made that the municipality or county has failed to comply with Subsection (a). (f) The comptroller shall adopt rules to implement Subsection (e) uniformly among the state agencies from which state grant funds are distributed to a municipality or county. SECTION 2. As soon as practicable after the effective date of this Act, the governing body of each municipality and the commissioners court of each county shall comply with Section 370.010, Local Government Code, as added by this Act. SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
