AI Summary
This bill requires public bodies and law enforcement agencies in Oregon to actively assist federal immigration authorities in enforcing immigration laws, specifically targeting individuals convicted of violent felonies, Class A misdemeanors, or felony sexual offenses. The bill defines key terms such as "federal immigration authority" (which includes agencies like ICE and Homeland Security), "law enforcement agency" (including county sheriffs, municipal police, state police, and corrections officers), and "violent felony" (a crime involving actual or threatened serious physical injury). Under this legislation, these public bodies and agencies are mandated to enforce federal immigration laws against qualifying individuals, which includes entering into agreements with federal immigration authorities, exchanging criminal investigation information, and potentially arresting individuals charged with federal immigration law violations. This bill effectively overrides previous Oregon statutes (ORS 181A.820 and 181A.822 to 181A.829) that may have limited cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, and provides specific mechanisms for local and state law enforcement to collaborate with federal immigration authorities in identifying and processing individuals convicted of specified crimes.
