Sponsor: Rep. Evans, Gabe [R-CO-8] (Introduced 02/27/2025). Latest Action: House - 02/27/2025 Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. The CRS summary says the bill requires additional cooperation from state and local governments in federal immigration enforcement and expands prohibitions on restricting assistance or cooperation with federal law enforcement.

Evans introduced a public-safety/law-enforcement bill, but its mechanism concerns immigration enforcement cooperation and detainers, not funding or hiring additional detectives or investigative personnel to solve violent crimes.

Additional Congress.gov member-activity results did not identify legislation by Evans to hire detectives or investigative personnel; the only detective-related hit was commemorative Congressional Record activity.
