Following the murder of UGA student Laken Riley, allegedly by an illegal immigrant, the Georgia State House passed a bill with a 97-74 vote requiring local law enforcement to assist with federal immigration enforcement. This legislation mandates police and sheriff's departments, including Athens-Clark County, to help identify, arrest, and detain undocumented immigrants for deportation. The bill's passage comes amid controversy over the sheriff of Clarke County, who had previously campaigned on a promise not to cooperate with ICE detainers. This stance has drawn criticism, especially in light of the recent crime, prompting discussions on the role of local law enforcement in federal immigration matters. The bill also includes provisions granting immunity to officers for wrongful arrests made in good faith.
