The North STAR Act is a bill introduced by immigration attorney Rep. Feist. STAR stands for our shared Minnesota values, “safety, trust, and respect.” In a year when immigrants are being demonized, this is more important than ever. We can build a welcoming, growing, thriving state, where good neighbors, who’ve done no harm, can live together in peace.

 

As one step towards a safer and more welcoming Minnesota, the North STAR Act (SF 2724/HF 2860) prohibits state and local government from detaining Minnesotans, including immigrants, or reporting them to federal agents, solely for the purpose of immigration enforcement, except as required by state or federal law, a judicial warrant, or other court order.
