Committee approves memorial urging Department of Homeland Security to provide guidance on 287(g) and cooperative enforcement
Summary
SM 6C, a memorial requesting guidance and training from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on 287(g) and related cooperative immigration enforcement measures, was reported favorably after brief debate; supporters said guidance should precede major programmatic spending, while one member urged a prompt federal response.
Senator Jay Gruters presented Senate Memorial 6C, which asks the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security to provide guidance, training opportunities and any needed directives to help 287(g) agreements and related cooperative enforcement operate efficiently and consistently with federal practice.
Sponsor remarks framed the memorial as a request for federal coordination to support state‑local partnerships; Minority Leader Pizzo said he supported the memorial and suggested the request for federal guidance should have preceded some of the state-level spending and operational steps already taken. The memorial does not itself create policy or appropriations; it is a formal request to a federal agency.
The committee reported the memorial favorably by roll call.
