Bill Summary
ALERTED Act of 2015 Assuring Law Enforcement Requests Are Timely Evaluated by the Department of Homeland Security Act of 2015 This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to direct U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, upon request by a federal, state, or local law enforcement official, to determine whether to issue a detainer to detain an alien arrested by such official for a violation of any law, not just one relating to controlled substances.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the ALERTED Act of 2015, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to promptly decide whether to issue a detainer for an alien arrested by federal, state, or local law enforcement officials for any violation of law, not just those related to controlled substances. A detainer is a request from ICE to another law enforcement agency to hold an individual for up to 48 hours so that ICE can take custody of that person. This change broadens the scope of offenses for which ICE can be asked to issue a detainer, ensuring that law enforcement requests for such actions are evaluated in a timely manner by the Department of Homeland Security.
