arrestees; unlawfully present; reporting

Summary

The measure would require state, county, city and town law‑enforcement officers to try to determine a detainee’s immigration status whenever there is reasonable suspicion they are in the country illegally, and to notify federal immigration authorities of any such arrests or convictions. It also bars agencies from limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and sets civil penalties for policies that do so. The governor vetoed the bill, so it is not law unless the legislature overrides the veto.
