The article notes Kobach helped draft a law empowering police to question suspected undocumented immigrants, cites 4138 in state schools under the policy, and discusses political support from freshmen like Caryn Tyson. Opponents say repeal efforts fail amid divided Senate leadership and broad Kansan opposition.
