Facilitating the transfer of certain individuals in the custody of the department of corrections.

Summary

The bill bars Washington state, local, and school resource officers from asking about or sharing a person’s immigration status unless it is tied to a criminal investigation, and restricts compliance with immigration detainer and notification requests. It adds precise definitions for terms such as civil immigration warrants, hold requests, and immigration detention agreements, and amends existing statutes to reflect these limits. The aim is to keep civil immigration enforcement primarily a federal responsibility while clarifying how individuals in state custody may be transferred.
