Summary
The Immigrant Safety Act bars state and local agencies, schools, and other publicly funded entities from signing or renewing contracts that allow the detention of individuals for civil immigration offenses. It also requires any existing such agreements to be ended as soon as legally possible and forbids using public property for immigration detention. The law aims to keep local resources out of federal immigration enforcement.
