Public Safety - Immigration Enforcement - Immigration Enforcement Agreements

Summary

The bill mandates that any county police department or similar agency that runs a correctional facility must enter into a federal immigration enforcement agreement by Jan. 1, 2027, though they may request a one‑time waiver to delay the deadline to July 1, 2027. Agencies that fail to comply after that date must detain individuals for up to 48 hours and transfer them to federal immigration authorities, and they can be held financially liable for housing and court costs if a released person is later detained. The measure seeks to increase local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
