Law enforcement: other; requirement to enforce federal immigration laws; provide for. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0969'24
This bill requires Michigan law enforcement agencies to establish programs that allow officers to assist federal immigration officials in enforcing immigration laws. To participate, agencies must sign an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security and designate officers for training to perform specific duties such as verifying the citizenship status of arrested individuals. The legislation also mandates that local jails transfer non-citizens who have been convicted of crimes or fined directly to federal custody after their state sentence is completed. Ultimately, the bill aims to integrate state and local police operations with federal immigration enforcement under a new "Jail Enforcement Model."
