The Missouri GOP is proposing SB 72, which includes a "certified bounty hunter program" to pay private citizens to track down undocumented immigrants.
It also mandates involuntary DNA collection and the creation of anonymous tiplines with paid rewards per arrest.

Let's start with April, and my overview of the Cass Review. I read 380+ pages so you won't have to.
