The bill specifically prohibits civil arrests in areas deemed sensitive, including educational institutions, healthcare facilities, shelters, and government offices.
In a recent move, state lawmakers in Vermont have approved legislation aimed at restricting federal immigration agents from conducting arrests in designated sensitive locations. The bill specifically prohibits civil arrests in areas deemed sensitive, including educational institutions, healthcare facilities, shelters, and government offices. Additionally, arrests will not be permitted for individuals traveling to these locations.
This legislative action occurs in the context of heightened immigration enforcement under the current administration. Following this approval, the bill is set to be presented to Governor Phil Scott, who has not yet expressed his stance on the matter.
