Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends and adds provisions that mandate inquiries into immigration status for juveniles/adults adjudicated or convicted of violent juvenile felonies, require reporting and queries to ICE, sharing of court records with ICE upon request, agreements to transfer custody to ICE, honoring of ICE detainers by transferring custody up to five days early, and related cooperation measures. These provisions expand state and local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement in the context of the juvenile justice system. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
