State that has in effect a statute, ordinance, policy, or practice that 
prohibits or restricts any government entity or official from--
            (1) sending, receiving, maintaining, or exchanging with any 
        Federal, State, or local government entity information 
        regarding the citizenship or immigration status (lawful or 
        unlawful) of any individual; or
            (2) complying with a request lawfully made by the
