AI Summary

This bill aims to clarify the jurisdiction of law enforcement officials on immigration issues. It grants law enforcement officers the authority to enforce federal criminal immigration laws, such as those found in Title 8 of the United States Code, if they have probable cause to believe a violation has occurred. Additionally, the bill allows law enforcement to arrest and detain a person without a warrant if they possess a valid Immigration Detainer from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security indicating probable cause that the person is a removable alien. The detention under this provision is limited to 48 hours beyond the time the person would otherwise be released from custody or admitted to bail.
