AI Summary

  • Restricts law enforcement detention of individuals on immigration detainers to only those previously convicted of violent or aggravated felonies, and only if detention complies with federal, state, and local law and is fully funded without state or local resources.

  • Prohibits U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from accessing individuals in local or state custody for investigative interviews unrelated to legitimate law enforcement purposes, and bars local/state personnel from expending resources on ICE inquiries while on duty.

  • Voids all 287(g) agreements between the state, counties, and ICE, preventing future agreements of this type.

  • Requires all law enforcement agencies to maintain and publicly publish monthly records of immigration detainer requests received, persons held on detainers, detention dates, outcomes, and whether ICE reimbursed detention costs.

  • Establishes legislative findings that immigration detainers lack constitutional safeguards (such as probable cause or warrants), harm community policing, and impose unreimbursed costs on local jurisdictions.
