Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds multiple provisions requiring state juvenile justice officials to inquire into immigration status for those adjudicated of violent felonies, report illegal status to ICE, share court records with ICE on request, honor ICE detainers with early transfer of custody, and allow agreements for ICE custody; these expand state-federal cooperation in immigration enforcement. No provisions on other listed topics.
