Illegal immigration; procedures for arrest, detention, transportation of illegal aliens provided for; reporting requirements established; penalties established
AI Summary
This bill establishes procedures and requirements for state and local law enforcement agencies in Alabama to arrest, detain, and transport illegal aliens. The key provisions include: 1) authorizing state and local law enforcement to enter agreements with federal agencies to enforce immigration laws; 2) requiring reasonable efforts to determine the nationality and immigration status of inmates in county/municipal jails, including contacting federal authorities; 3) requiring jails to comply with immigration detainer requests from federal authorities; 4) establishing reporting requirements for jails on the number of foreign national inmates and immigration-related actions; and 5) creating criminal penalties for jail staff who violate the law. The bill also states that it is exempt from certain constitutional requirements regarding expenditure of local funds because it defines a new crime.
