What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Incentivizing Cooperation in Immigration Enforcement Act," aims to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. The primary purpose is to change how certain grants are awarded. It proposes to provide priority consideration for grant applicants who are part of a State or political subdivision that has entered into a written agreement with the Secretary of Homeland Security. These agreements are made pursuant to section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
