Law enforcement holds of certain persons subject to federal immigration detainers authorization

Summary

The bill lets police and sheriffs keep people who have an ICE detainer for up to 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) even if a judge has ordered bail. It applies only to non‑citizens without lawful status and gives officials immunity from lawsuits for these holds. The measure is intended to give federal authorities time to take custody while preserving the original bail process.
