Bill > HB06368

This bill requires state law enforcement agencies, specifically the Department of Correction, Division of State Police, and municipal police departments, to take specific actions related to undocumented immigrants. The bill mandates that the Department of Correction must notify the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal authorities when an undocumented immigrant is in their custody or being transferred. Additionally, if law enforcement encounters an undocumented immigrant who has either a detainer request or a final deportation order, they must immediately notify ICE and hold the individual in custody until ICE can take over. The purpose of this legislation is to enhance cooperation between state law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities, ensuring that undocumented immigrants with outstanding immigration orders are promptly identified and potentially removed from the country. By requiring immediate notification and detention, the bill aims to support federal immigration enforcement efforts at the state level.
