Senate Bill 2710, codified at Miss. Code Section 17-21-7 in 2017, prohibits any Mississippi state agency, county, municipality, or public university from adopting sanctuary policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Mississippi enacted SB 2710 in 2017, codified at Miss. Code 17-21-7, expressly forbidding state and local governments and public institutions of higher learning from adopting any policy that limits or prohibits enforcement of federal immigration law. Covered entities cannot restrict communication with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, refuse to honor detainer requests, or shield individuals from federal immigration inquiries. The statute requires full cooperation with federal authorities regarding citizenship and immigration status information. Violations may result in loss of state funding, and any official adopting a sanctuary policy may be subject to removal procedures. The law preempts conflicting local ordinances and policies, making any attempted sanctuary designation legally void within the state.
Local entities adopting sanctuary policies may lose state funding; conflicting local ordinances are void and unenforceable; officials may face removal proceedings.
