Nebraska LB 1308 (2018) prohibits cities including Omaha from adopting sanctuary policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Local agencies must comply with ICE detainers and information-sharing requests under federal law.
Legislative Bill 1308, enacted in 2018, bars Nebraska municipalities from establishing sanctuary policies that restrict local law enforcement from assisting federal immigration authorities. Omaha cannot adopt rules preventing OPD or city personnel from sharing information about a person's immigration status with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under federal 8 U.S.C. §1373. Douglas County Sheriff honors ICE detainers consistent with state law. The City of Omaha provides limited language access services but does not condition municipal services on immigration status.
Adoption or enforcement of a sanctuary policy could trigger state action, loss of state funding, and litigation under LB 1308's compliance provisions.
