County sheriffs would oversee federal law enforcement in their counties

County sheriffs and deputies would attend federal warrant service and arrests. This would cover every federal warrant served and federal arrest made in the sheriff’s county. They would have to observe even if they also take part. Their oversight would aim to protect residents’ rights and check practices meant to limit deadly force. If passed, the act would take effect 60 days after passage.

County sheriffs would require federal law enforcement agencies to give advance notice of planned actions. The notice demand would cover any federal law enforcement action planned within the sheriff’s county.

A sheriff could treat certain federal actions as unauthorized and stop them or have deputies stop them. This would apply to federal law enforcement actions in the sheriff’s county. The sheriff would have to decide that federal officers gave no advance notice, provided no reasonable legal justification, or failed to follow practices meant to limit deadly force. The action would have to be imminent or ongoing.
