MI HB5600

Defines "sanctuary city" as a political subdivision that prohibits or restricts cooperation with federal immigration authorities regarding citizenship/immigration status or compliance with Homeland Security detainers under 8 USC 1226 and 1357.

Creates liability for sanctuary cities: individuals injured, whose property is damaged, or whose family members die as a direct result of a felony committed by a non-citizen or unlawfully present person may sue the sanctuary city for damages.

Establishes a 10-year statute of limitations for civil actions against sanctuary cities under this provision, measured from the felony's commission or the victim's death, whichever is later.

Grants immunity to political subdivisions and their officers/employees who comply with Homeland Security detainers, protecting them from liability for actions taken pursuant to such detainers, unless they knowingly violate civil or constitutional rights.

Adds definitional amendments including "Homeland Security," "sanctuary city," and clarifies existing terms in Michigan's governmental tort immunity law.
