State, local, and Tribal law enforcement personnel may provide increased <br />enforcement presence by generally increasing their patrol presence at the border; by providing additional traffic <br />control support at the border and at border patrol traffic checkpoints; and by enhancing their participation in the <br />Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. This policy does not result in a change or extension of Federal authority to <br />State, Tribal, or local law enforcement agencies to enforce Federal immigration laws. If Federal immigration <br />violations are encountered, consistent with current practices, State, local, and Tribal agencies may refer those <br />violations to CBP authorities for appropriate action. No funds may be obligated or drawn down in support of these <br />activities without HQ-CBP approval of operational plans and without submission to and approval by G&T of budget <br />detail worksheets. State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies shall not use this funding to supplant routine <br />patrol and law enforcement operations or activities in order to perform other activities not directly related to <br />providing an enhanced law enforcement presence. <br /> <br />PREPAREDNESS DIRECTORATE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING <br /> <br />89 <br /> <br />
