Following a fatal ICE shooting, states split on immigration enforcement: Democrats limit federal power, Republicans expand it, sparking legal battles.
In early 2026, U.S. state legislatures saw a surge in immigration enforcement legislation following the fatal shooting of a protester by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.
Democratic lawmakers in states like New York, New Jersey, California, and Oregon introduced measures to limit federal immigration enforcement, including banning ICE access to sensitive locations, allowing lawsuits against federal agents, and restricting state cooperation with ICE.
Meanwhile, Tennessee Republicans, backed by the Trump administration, introduced a sweeping package requiring verification of immigration status for public benefits, professional licenses, driver’s licenses, and K-12 education, and criminalizing illegal entry as a misdemeanor.
These proposals, which may conflict with Supreme Court rulings, have sparked legal challenges from both federal and state governments, reflecting deep national divisions over immigration policy and raising complex constitutional questions likely to lead to prolonged litigation.
