AI Summary

This bill prohibits state and local government entities, including law enforcement agencies, from adopting or enforcing "sanctuary policies" that restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to use their best efforts to support federal immigration enforcement, and allows them to share information, comply with immigration detainers, and transport detainees to federal custody. It also mandates that judges note in court records when a defendant is subject to an immigration detainer, and requires correctional facilities to enter agreements with federal immigration agencies for housing and detaining such individuals. The bill empowers the state attorney general to enforce compliance and seek judicial remedies against any violations.
