Georgia New Immigration Law HB 1105 has been passed by the leaders. This law means that if someone over 18 is arrested, the police must check whether they are in the country legally.
If they don’t, the police could lose money from the government, and the officials who don’t cooperate might get in trouble.
Georgia New Immigration Law comes after a sad event where a student was killed, and the person accused was said to be in the country illegally.
Some people are worried this law could unfairly target immigrants and make things worse.
The government says they are doing this to keep people safe. However, others argue it might not help and could cause more problems.
This law, HB 1105, is part of a more considerable effort by the government to be stricter about immigration.
Also, last week, the government passed another law called HB301.
This law aimed to strip sanctuary cities and counties of specific state and federal funding, showing the state’s commitment to being more demanding on immigration.
