Impact analysis
Taxpayers will likely see a shift in how police budgets are spent as local officers take on more federal-level enforcement duties.
Proponents of stricter immigration enforcement and federal agencies looking for more local support will see this as a big win.
Immigrant communities in the area might feel less safe or more hesitant to report crimes to the police, which could hurt overall community trust.
