Requires state and local law enforcement agencies and private correctional contractors to report detailed information on immigration detentions, arrests, transfers to federal authorities, and custody changes to a public state database within 48 hours, increasing transparency and documentation of ICE
A law enforcement agency or an entity contracting for private correctional services in this state shall submit all of the following information to the board within 48 hours after detaining or arresting a person for an immigration-related reason, accepting custody of a person detained for an immigration-related reason, or otherwise participating in an immigration enforcement action:
Creates and requires public online publication of a searchable State Immigration Enforcement Action Database containing names, birthdates, arrest/detention details, custody locations, and transfer information for individuals involved in state immigration enforcement actions.
The State Board of Immigration Enforcement is responsible for creating and administering a database of immigration enforcement actions performed by any state law enforcement agency or entity contracting for private correctional services in this state. The database must be accessible through a publicly available website and be searchable by agency and name.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates creation of a public database and requires law enforcement and contractors to report immigration-related detentions, arrests, custody, and transfers to federal authorities, which expands the scope and public visibility of state participation in immigration enforcement. No provisions restrict enforcement, limit cooperation with ICE, or create sanctuary policies.
