AN ACT AMENDING THE TRUST ACT.

HB 5090 amends the Trust Act to remove a legal barrier preventing the detention or transfer of individuals subject to civil immigration detainers who have been convicted of serious offenses posing significant public safety risks. This bill directly affects non-citizens in immigration custody who have committed qualifying criminal convictions. The key provision deletes existing statutory language that previously blocked local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities in these specific cases. The change allows local authorities to detain and transfer such individuals to federal custody when they meet the defined criteria of serious criminal offenses. The bill focuses solely on modifying this specific legal restriction without altering broader immigration enforcement policies.
