AI Summary
This bill requires law enforcement agencies and courts in New York State to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when an arrested person or defendant is not a U.S. citizen. Specifically, the bill mandates that police officers must forward fingerprints and arrest reports to ICE for non-citizen arrestees, and courts must notify ICE upon conviction of a felony or misdemeanor for non-citizens. The bill also adjusts maximum sentences for class A misdemeanors and unclassified misdemeanors from 364 days to one year. Additionally, the bill requires correctional facilities to notify ICE at least five days prior to the release of a non-citizen detainee, including both state and local correctional facilities. The legislation repeals certain provisions of the "Protect Our Courts Act," which previously limited immigration enforcement activities in courthouses. These changes aim to enhance communication between local law enforcement, courts, and federal immigration authorities regarding non-citizen individuals involved in the criminal justice system, potentially facilitating federal immigration enforcement efforts.
