immigration reform

The Utah Compact’s language states a respect for the rule of law, and emphasizes that “local law enforcement resources should focus on criminal activities,” as opposed to civil infractions. Republicans like Candice Pierucci have said current legislation hews closely to that intent, focusing on people who have committed crimes.

Utah is leaning into a very different approach to immigration today than back in 2010 when the state made headlines with the Utah Compact on immigration. The compact was reaffirmed in 2019 — what's different now?

Bills focusing on everything from cracking down on the fentanyl trade and organized crime to people who drive their cars without a license will be taken up by the Legislature in 2025.

Immigration cases have spiked nationally, and in a small county, like Millard, it makes a big difference.

Utah Gov. Spencer also thinks, and feels that most Americans agree, that “it's a mistake to nominate either of the party frontrunners right now.”
