Limits state and local law enforcement agreements with federal government on civil immigration enforcement to only informing officials of noncitizens in custody and facilitating transfers of removable noncitizens, while allowing coordination for border security, judicial warrants, or criminal law.
no state or local law enforcement agency may enter into any agreement with the federal government regarding the enforcement of federal civil immigration law, including but not limited to an agreement pursuant to 8 USC 1357(g), for any purpose other than to inform federal officials of noncitizens in their custody and to facilitate the transfer of removable noncitizens who are in the custody of the state department of corrections and community supervision or a local correctional facility.
Restricts local correctional facilities from releasing certain noncitizens to federal immigration custody without district attorney consent (for those pending felony trial), while allowing release after sentence completion, and bars civil immigration enforcement in sensitive locations like schools,,
Where a deportable noncitizen is in the custody of a local correctional facility pending trial on charges of at least one felony, such facility may only release such noncitizen to the custody of immigration officials on consent of the district attorney or other appropriate prosecuting agency.
Prohibits entering sensitive locations (schools, child facilities, health care, houses of worship, and nearby areas) for non-criminal civil immigration detention without a federal judicial warrant, limiting such enforcement actions.
No person may enter a sensitive location for the purpose of detaining an individual as part of a non-criminal civil immigration enforcement action, unless such person presents a valid judicial warrant issued by a federal court established under article III of the United States constitution.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill limits agreements and coordination with federal immigration authorities to narrow purposes (restricts state-federal cooperation), requires prosecutor consent for pre-trial releases to ICE (restricts enforcement via sanctuary-like limits), and bars warrantless civil immigration actions in sensitive locations (restricts detention/transport). All provisions substantively address immigration-enforcement topics with a net restrictive effect on enforcement scope; no other listed topics are addressed.
