Why the model tagged it this way: The bill removes expiration dates to indefinitely continue state Attorney General reviews and reporting on conditions, care, and due process in immigration detention facilities (including for minors contracted to federal agencies), while dropping a prior requirement to review circumstances of apprehension and transfer. This expands state oversight of immigration detention operations without changing enforcement authority, cooperation requirements, or detention itself.
