TN HB1918

State and local law enforcement agencies are prohibited from assisting federal immigration enforcement actions in private workplaces unless a valid judicial warrant is presented; administrative warrants, civil detainers, and ICE notices do not qualify.

Business owners, managers, and employees cannot be penalized under state or local law for refusing entry to federal immigration authorities who lack a judicial warrant.

State and local agencies are barred from providing access to non-public business areas, sharing employee records or schedules, or participating in questioning or detaining individuals for immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

Evidence obtained in violation of these provisions is inadmissible in state or local court proceedings, and aggrieved businesses or individuals may seek declaratory or injunctive relief.

The Department of Labor and Workforce Development must develop and distribute a model workplace notice informing businesses and employees of their rights under this act.
