Immigration enforcementstate federal cooperationAI label
Prohibits state and local officers, probation, state employees, and municipalities from using resources for immigration enforcement, participating in ICE agreements, transferring custody without a judicial warrant, allowing non-judicial-warrant access to facilities, or using ICE as interpreters, so,
The duties and authority of police officers, peace officers, and school resource officers shall not include authority to engage in immigration enforcement. Police officers, peace officers, and school resource officers shall not use public resources for immigration enforcement.
Prohibits transfer or facilitation of transfer of custody to immigration authorities absent a valid Article III or federal magistrate judicial warrant, limiting state/local cooperation in immigration detention.
No police officer, peace officer, or school resource officer shall transfer or facilitate the transfer of individuals in their custody to the custody of immigration authorities absent a valid court order or judicial warrant issued by an independent judge appointed pursuant to Article III of the United States constitution or federal magistrate judge appointed pursuant to 28 USC § 631 commanding the arrest of such individual.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill enacts broad sanctuary-style limits on state and local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, including bans on status inquiries/collections/disclosures, honoring detainers/civil warrants, notifications to ICE, resource use for enforcement, and non-judicial-warrant facility access or custody transfers; exceptions for court orders, judicial warrants, or required program administration do not offset the net reduction in enforcement cooperation.
