Changes 'may' to 'shall' for honoring ICE detainers by requiring notification and transfer of custody, so more immigration enforcement.
The Director, sheriff, or other official in charge of the facility in which an alien is incarcerated [deleted: may] shall, upon receipt of a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, (i) provide U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with prerelease notification of such alien's release and (ii) upon request from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, transfer custody of the alien to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement upon such alien's release.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends existing law by replacing a permissive 'may' with a mandatory 'shall' for state and local officials to honor ICE detainers through notification and custody transfer of incarcerated aliens, directly expanding state-federal cooperation in immigration enforcement. No other topics are substantively addressed.
