Georgia should keep requiring local jails to cooperate with federal immigration detention requests.
A 2024 Georgia law requires jailers to check immigration status and honor federal detainer requests, with penalties for noncompliance. Reversing it would give sheriffs more discretion over cooperation.

Immigration law is federal law, not state law, and I will enforce the law and make sure Georgia is a partner in doing it.
