MI HB5777

Law enforcement officers are prohibited from arresting or detaining individuals for violations of MCL 750.410d, 750.410e, or 750.410f while they are on school premises, places of religious worship, or health care facilities receiving medical treatment.

Courts may release individuals charged with these violations and issue written orders requiring them to return to their country of origin if the individual agrees and has no prior convictions for these offenses.

Before issuing discharge orders, law enforcement must collect fingerprints and biometric information and cross-reference it with local, state, federal criminal databases and federal lists identifying national security threats.

Upon conviction for these violations, courts must issue orders requiring the individual's return to their country of origin, with orders taking effect after completion of imprisonment.

Courts are prohibited from abating prosecution of these offenses based on pending or anticipated federal immigration status determinations.
