Regulaciones sobre la custodia y el estatus migratorio en Carolina del Sur

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que los oficiales de policía no pueden detener a alguien solo porque piensan que esa persona no está en el país legalmente. También deben seguir reglas federales sobre inmigración y no pueden usar la raza para tomar decisiones.

Es como cuando un entrenador de fútbol no puede sacar a un jugador solo porque no le gusta su estilo de juego; necesita seguir las reglas del torneo para tomar decisiones.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan, un residente legal, está en una tienda y la policía llega. Si los oficiales piensan que Juan no está legalmente en el país, no pueden detenerlo solo por eso, a menos que tengan una razón válida y sigan el proceso correcto.
