Bill > HF772

This bill requires publicly funded state and local institutions in Minnesota to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) about the presence of noncitizen inmates or individuals committed for mental health reasons. Specifically, when an alien (noncitizen) is committed to a correctional facility, county jail, or other public-funded institution after a felony conviction or due to being deemed a danger to the public because of mental illness, the chief executive officer, sheriff, or institution administrator must immediately inquire about the person's nationality. If the individual is confirmed to be a noncitizen, the officer must notify the local ICE office with detailed information, including the date of conviction, crime committed, length of commitment, the person's country of citizenship, and their last port of entry into the United States. Furthermore, by September 1, 2025, these institutions are required to conduct a comprehensive review of the immigration status of all individuals serving felony sentences, with the same notification requirements if a noncitizen is identified. This bill aims to enhance communication between state and local institutions and federal immigration authorities regarding noncitizen inmates.
