The debate over cooperation between local authorities and federal immigration agencies continues to generate controversy in Wisconsin.
State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Vélez, who participated in the introduction of AB 57, explains why she believes this collaboration can generate distrust in immigrant communities and affect public safety.

For his part, State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, along with a group of Republican state representatives, introduced AB 24, which seeks to strengthen this cooperation. We extended an invitation to Representative Vos but received no response.
