Bill > HB58

This bill amends Title 11 of the Delaware Code by adding a new section that prohibits law enforcement officers from taking certain actions related to civil immigration enforcement. Specifically, officers are forbidden from stopping, questioning, arresting, searching, or detaining individuals based on their actual or suspected citizenship, immigration status, or potential violations of federal civil immigration law. The bill also bars officers from inquiring about an individual's immigration status, citizenship, place of birth, or social security number eligibility. Additionally, law enforcement is prohibited from making arrests, detaining, or prolonging detention of individuals based solely on civil immigration warrants or immigration detainers. The purpose of this legislation appears to be limiting local law enforcement's involvement in federal immigration enforcement, potentially to protect individual privacy rights and prevent potential racial profiling or discriminatory practices.
