Georgia prohibits sanctuary policies under O.C.G.A. 36-80-23 and HB 1105, requiring local governments and law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
O.C.G.A. 36-80-23 forbids any local governing body from enacting policies that limit communication or cooperation with federal immigration officials. HB 1105 (2024) strengthened the prohibition by requiring jails to check immigration status of foreign-born detainees and to honor ICE detainers. Sheriffs and local agencies must apply for 287(g) participation when feasible and submit annual compliance reports. Violating jurisdictions risk loss of state funding and qualified immunity protections, and officials may face removal proceedings. The statute applies uniformly to counties, municipalities, and law enforcement agencies statewide.
Non-compliant jurisdictions may lose state funding; officials face removal proceedings and personal liability under HB 1105.
