Correctional Services and Criminal Procedure - Immigration Enforcement - Prohibitions (Community Trust Act)

Summary

The Community Trust Act stops state and local jail employees and police officers from asking about, detaining for, or transferring people based on citizenship or immigration status, unless a valid court order or judicial warrant applies. Facilities must adopt policies with penalties, and individuals can sue for damages if the law is violated. The measure aims to protect immigrant communities and keep local law enforcement focused on public safety.
