TN SB1971

State and local law enforcement agencies are prohibited from assisting with immigration enforcement actions in private workplaces unless federal authorities present a valid judicial warrant issued by a judge or magistrate based on probable cause.

Administrative warrants, civil detainers, and notices issued by federal immigration authorities do not satisfy the warrant requirement for workplace entry.

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, employee records or schedules, or participating in questioning or detaining individuals for immigration purposes without a judicial warrant.

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