根据这项拟议法案，违规者将面临最高11个月监禁、2500美元罚款，或两者并罚

田纳西州共和党人正推动在州级层面将移民违规行为定为刑事犯罪，拟出台一项法案，规定移民在收到最终驱逐令后仍留在该“志愿之州”（田纳西州别称）将构成犯罪。
这项法案以26票赞成、6票反对的结果在共和党掌控的参议院获得通过，要求收到驱逐令的非法移民在90天内离开田纳西州，否则将面临A级轻罪指控。该法案此前已在众议院以73票赞成、22票反对获得通过。
违规者将面临最高11个月29天的监禁，最高2500美元的罚款，或两者并罚。该法案还新增了一项单独的A级轻罪罪名，针对被驱逐后再次进入或试图进入该州的移民。

该法案的发起人、田纳西州众议院多数党领袖威廉·兰伯特将这项提案称为对长期以来州级移民执法限制的直接挑战。
“当某人用尽所有上诉途径，且已被勒令离开该国时，根据联邦法律，他们继续停留已是非法行为；而如果这项法案获得通过，那么他们进入或留在田纳西州也将构成轻罪，”兰伯特在众议院司法委员会听证会上说道，据《新闻周刊》报道。
这项法案是田纳西州共和党人全面收紧非法移民政策举措的一部分，其中包括限制公共福利发放，扩大州政府在执法中的参与度。

包括支持该法案的共和党议员在内的支持者认为，这项法案将加强执法并威慑违规行为。
据《田纳西瞭望报》报道，包括移民倡导者和部分法律专家在内的批评者警告称，该法案可能与通常管辖移民执法的联邦法律冲突，并可能给州法院带来负担。

这项提案引发了一个疑问：各州是否有权针对联邦驱逐令施加额外处罚。
目前尚不清楚共和党籍田纳西州州长比尔·李是否会在该法案送达其办公桌后签署。
该法案可能会引发一场关于联邦权限的最高法院诉讼，将田纳西州打造为共和党在全国范围内扩大州级移民执法行动的试验场。

Tennessee Senate passes bill criminalizing migrants who defy deportation orders
April 7, 2026 2:02pm EDT / Fox News
Violators would face up to 11 months in jail, a $2,500 fine, or both under the proposed legislation

Tennessee Republicans are moving to criminalize immigration violations at the state level with a bill that would make it a crime for migrants to remain in the Volunteer State after a final deportation order.
The measure, which passed the Republican-controlled Senate on a 26-6 vote, would require illegal immigrants with a removal order to leave Tennessee within 90 days or face a Class A misdemeanor. The House previously passed the measure 73-22.
Violators would face up to 11 months and 29 days in jail, a fine of up to $2,500, or both. The bill also creates a separate Class A misdemeanor offense for migrants who re-enter or attempt to enter the state after being deported.

Tennessee House Majority Leader William Lamberth, the bill’s sponsor, framed the proposal as a direct challenge to long-standing limits on state immigration enforcement.
“When someone has exhausted all their options and they’ve been told to leave the country, it is illegal for them to stay, both under federal law, and if this bill passes, it would be a misdemeanor for them to enter in, or remain in, the state of Tennessee,” Lamberth said during a state House Judiciary Committee hearing, according to Newsweek.
The measure is part of a broader push by Tennessee Republicans to take a stricter approach to illegal immigration, including restricting public benefits and expanding state involvement in enforcement.

Supporters, including Republican lawmakers backing the bill, argued it would strengthen enforcement and deter violations.
Critics, including immigration advocates and some legal experts, warned it could conflict with federal law, which generally governs immigration enforcement, and could burden state courts, according to the Tennessee Lookout.

The proposal raises questions about whether states can impose additional penalties tied to federal deportation orders.
It is unclear whether Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, will sign the measure if it reaches his desk.
The bill could set up a Supreme Court challenge over federal authority and position Tennessee as a test case for a broader GOP effort to expand state-level immigration enforcement nationwide.
