AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois TRUST Act to further restrict law enforcement's cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The bill prohibits law enforcement agencies from retaining information about an individual's citizenship or immigration status, providing immigration agents access to individuals in custody, or sharing databases and information with federal immigration agencies. Specifically, law enforcement cannot detain individuals solely based on immigration status, inquire about immigration status, or assist immigration agents in enforcement operations. The bill expands the definition of "immigration agent" and "law enforcement agency" to include more types of officials and departments. It requires annual reporting to the Attorney General about any immigration-related requests or detainers, but prohibits including personally identifiable information in these reports. The bill also repeals the Keep Illinois Families Together Act and aims to prevent local law enforcement from collaborating with federal immigration enforcement efforts, with exceptions for criminal investigations and specific legal requirements. The changes are designed to protect individuals from potential immigration enforcement actions at the local level and limit the sharing of personal information with federal immigration authorities.
