Bill Summary

Relative to empowering law enforcement to cooperate with the federal government to transfer custody of certain convicted criminals. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to empower local law enforcement in Massachusetts to cooperate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in detaining certain convicted criminals who are considered removable aliens. The key provisions include: 1. Allowing local law enforcement officers with police powers, such as municipal police, court officers, and state troopers, to detain a person upon receiving a written request and administrative warrant from ICE, if a supervisory officer determines the person poses a threat to public safety based on specific criteria (e.g., involvement in terrorism, gang activity, felony convictions, or certain violent crimes). 2. Requiring a judicial determination of probable cause within 12 hours to continue the detention beyond that timeframe. 3. Specifying that the law does not create a private right of action or make any otherwise lawful arrests unlawful. The bill provides a legal framework for local law enforcement to assist federal immigration authorities in certain cases, while also establishing safeguards and limitations around the detention process.
