AI Summary
This bill empowers law enforcement officers in Massachusetts, such as municipal police, court officers, and state troopers, to detain individuals upon receiving a written request and administrative warrant from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The detention can only occur if a supervisory officer determines that the individual poses a threat to public safety, based on specific criteria like prior convictions for serious crimes or terrorism-related offenses. The detention is limited to 12 hours unless a judge determines there is probable cause to believe the individual is a removable alien. The bill does not create a private right of action or make any otherwise lawful arrests unlawful.
