AI Summary
This bill empowers law enforcement officers in Massachusetts, including municipal police, court officers, and state troopers, to detain individuals upon receiving a written request and administrative warrant from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), provided that a supervisor determines the individual poses a threat to public safety. The detention is limited to a reasonable period of time, not exceeding 12 hours, unless a judicial officer makes a probable cause determination that the individual is a removable alien. The bill outlines specific criteria for determining a threat to public safety, such as convictions for terrorism, gang activity, felonies, or certain violent or drug-related crimes. The bill also requires agencies to establish policies for implementing the detention authority and provides for judicial oversight of the detention process.
