MI HB6256

Prohibits Michigan state and local law enforcement from limiting enforcement of federal immigration laws below the full extent permitted by federal law.

Requires law enforcement to attempt to determine immigration status when reasonable suspicion exists that a lawfully stopped person is an unlawfully present alien, and mandates immigration status determination before release of any arrested person.

Allows law enforcement to transport aliens verified as unlawfully present to federal facilities or transfer points, with judicial authorization required for out-of-state transport.

Permits state and local officials to send, receive, and exchange immigration status information with federal agencies for purposes including benefit eligibility determinations, residency verification, and federal registration compliance.

Creates state criminal penalties of up to 20 days imprisonment or $100 fine for first violation of willful failure to carry alien registration documents, and up to 30 days or $100 fine for subsequent violations; allows citizens to sue agencies for civil penalties of $500-$5,000 per day for policies restricting immigration enforcement.
