Immigration enforcement: private transportation.

Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to implement and maintain procedures to identify inmates serving terms in state prison who are undocumented aliens subject to deportation. Existing law requires the department to cooperate with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service by providing the use of prison facilities, transportation, and general support, as needed, for the purposes of conducting and expediting deportation hearings and subsequent placement of deportation holds on undocumented aliens who are incarcerated in state prison. This bill would prohibit an officer, employee, contractor, or employee of a contractor of the department from facilitating or allowing entry to the department's premises, or otherwise authorizing an employee or contractor of a private security company to arrest, detain, interrogate, transport, or take into custody, an individual in the department's custody or on the department's premises for immigration enforcement purposes. The bill would also prohibit those department representatives from coordinating with an employee or contractor of a private security company to interrogate parolees for immigration purposes and would prohibit those department representatives from transferring an individual in the department's custody to another state prison within 90 days of the individual's release date, except in an emergency or for special housing.
