MS bill to offer bounty hunters $1k for 'illegal aliens' [View all]
A bill that would allow certified bounty hunters to assist in identifying and reporting undocumented immigrants was introduced in the Mississippi House of Representatives Wednesday.
House Bill 1484, proposed by the Desoto County District Attorney and authored by state Rep. Justin Keen, would create the Mississippi Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program.
The program would offer a $1,000 reward to registered bounty hunters for each successful deportation they help facilitate.
According to the Desoto County DA’s office, the reward would be funded by the General Assembly and administered by the state treasurer and is intended to encourage collaboration between law enforcement and private citizens in identifying individuals unlawfully residing in Mississippi, thereby assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in their removal efforts.
