Mississippi law could create statewide registry of undocumented immigrants
A new Mississippi law will allow the state Department of Public Safety to compile a database of undocumented immigrants, including personal details and any criminal history. The measure, sponsored by Republican State Senator Angela Hill, does not mandate sharing the information with federal immigration authorities but encourages cooperation agreements with ICE. Immigrant advocacy groups have expressed concern that the registry could be used to target immigrant communities.
- ▪The law takes effect on Wednesday and authorizes the Department of Public Safety to collect names, addresses, country of origin, and other data on undocumented residents for up to two years.
- ▪The statute does not expressly require the state to share the database with federal immigration agencies, though it directs agencies to seek cooperation agreements with ICE under Section 287(g).
- ▪State Senator Angela Hill argued the measure is a commonsense way to understand and address the perceived problems caused by illegal immigration.
