The Georgia House of Representatives has recently passed a significant bill that mandates every eligible police and sheriff's department to assist in identifying undocumented immigrants, arresting them, and detaining them for deportation. This legislative action, aimed at strengthening cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, specifically targets sheriffs who refuse to cooperate with ICE detainers and imposes criminal penalties on them. Sparking a debate on sanctuary jurisdictions, particularly in Clarke County, the bill was passed with a vote of 97-74 following the tragic slaying of nursing student Laken Riley. Athens Rep. Spencer Frye (D) was among the voters, reflecting a concerted effort by Georgia House Republicans to address issues of illegal immigration in the aftermath of the student's death.
