ATLANTA – Legislation requiring local law enforcement agencies to comply with a 2006 state law aimed at illegal immigration cleared the Republican-controlled Georgia House Thursday.
House Bill 1105, which passed 97-74 primarily along party lines, comes on the heels of last week’s murder of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, on the University of Georgia campus in Athens. A 26-year-old Venezuelan man allegedly in the country illegally has been charged with the crime.
The bill requires local sheriffs and jailers to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Those that fail to determine the nationality of suspects being held in local jails and notify the U.S. Department of Homeland Security when they have a suspected illegal immigrant in custody would be subject to the withholding of state funds and state-authorized federal funds.
“Georgia law already prohibits sanctuary cities,” state Rep. Houston Gaines, R-Athens, told his House colleagues before Thursday’s vote. “House Bill 1105 will make sure sanctuary policies don’t get rooted in our local governments.”
“We have the greatest border crisis in our nation’s history,” added Rep. Jesse Petrea, R-Savannah, the bill’s chief sponsor. “Millions are entering our country illegally. We don’t know who they are.”
But Rep. Stacey Evans, D-Atlanta, said the legislation would force local law enforcement agencies to focus their efforts on ferreting out illegal immigrants instead of allowing them to concentrate on those committing violent crimes regardless of their nationality.
“It’s stepping on the hands of law enforcement (agencies) who are trying to deal with high crime,” she said.

I cursed so much when reading the article, my hubby called me out on my language. I'll find a dollar to put in the swear jar which I just now created for our household.
“ passed 97-74 primarily along party lines”
Because libtards love illegals flooding and killing
“ So, Georgia is going to pass a law saying government officials have to obey the law previously passed.”
Apparently so. We need a new law for president retard to obey the SC ruling when he broke the law previously
Targeting is not only appropriate—it’s mandatory. Get them out of our country, please.
How about some criminal penalties.

More than U.S citizens.
Yes, and make it snappy.
>ferreting out illegal immigrants instead of allowing them to concentrate on those committing violent crimes regardless of their nationality<
I doubt that. There may be more ‘downed’ because the invaders target the police.
However the police will take a beating on this just the sane.
THAT CAMERA! It’s insurance. Well not always. Remember Floyd?
Georgia should prohibit females from running alone.
The GA House is as useless as shower mold.
How about we just start swatting and arresting cops and prosecutors for co-conspiracy to commit crime? Make some examples of them and let them rot. You think any Republican AG has the balls to to do that. I didn’t think so. All Republicans are cowards.
**prohibit females from running alone.**
That was my thought.. When is it safe for a female to be out alone and no one even near, in case.
I sent a text to my daughter reminding her to not walk anywhere alone.. She is sharp.. But I wanted to check did she still realize..
People are angry about the open border Dem illegals and crime.
Some politician said:
“A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half American citizen taxpayer crime victims and half subsidized illegal alien sex traffickers, home invaders and violent muggers. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved – I do not expect the house to fall.”
