WISCONSIN LAWMAKERS PUSH 'KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER' BILL TO BLOCK ICE DETENTION, BAN LOCAL COOPERATION

Progressive lawmakers led by Rep. Ryan Clancy introduced the "Keep Families Together" package to curb local cooperation with ICE, bar use of state and local facilities for immigration-only detention, fund deportation defense, and restrict masked or unidentified government actors. GOP Rep. Clint Moses slammed it as a sanctuary-state blueprint that endangers public safety and shifts costs to communities. The proposal intensifies Wisconsin’s partisan clash over immigration enforcement amid broader DHS/ICE criticism of sanctuary policies nationwide.
