AN ACT CONCERNING CIVIL IMMIGRATION DETAINERS FOR PERSONS WHO ARE CHARGED WITH THE COMMISSION OF A CLASS A, B OR C FELONY OR A FAMILY VIOLENCE CRIME.
This bill restricts how local law enforcement agencies can share information with federal immigration authorities, specifically prohibiting officers from responding to immigration detainer requests for individuals charged with certain serious crimes. The legislation directly affects state and local police, correctional officers, probation officers, and school security personnel by limiting their ability to assist federal agencies in detaining or transferring individuals who have been charged with Class A, B, or C felonies or family violence offenses. Key provisions include banning law enforcement from providing federal immigration authorities with non-public information about an individual's release dates, addresses, or compliance with probation terms, and preventing agencies from allowing federal officers to interview detainees or use jail facilities for immigration enforcement activities. The bill also defines specific types of confidential information that cannot be shared, including details about an individual's sexual orientation, victim status, witness role, or financial records.
