A Georgia Senate Committee advanced the legislation on Wednesday that would suspend school districts and other lines on legal disputes if they violated a state law that requires cooperation with federal officials and police in enforcing immigration.
The Senate Committee for Public Security led by Republicans voted 5: 3 for Senate Bill 21, which would do without sovereign immunity against violations. Legislation is aimed at the guidelines known as “Sanctuary City” policy – local rules against the cooperation with the federal immigration authorities.
In the measure, the sheriffs must comply with the inquiries from the federal immigration hedges, and a representative of the Georgia Sheriff's association said that his group was neutral.
