Immigrant worker enterprise zones authorized, law enforcement required to comply with federal detainers, and money appropriated.

This bill creates "Immigrant Worker Enterprise Zones" in Minnesota to address labor shortages by attracting immigrant workers to specific areas. The commissioner will identify these zones based on regional labor needs, immigrant workforce data, and required community services like housing and healthcare. It also requires state/local law enforcement to hold individuals for up to 48 hours when federal immigration detainers are issued, regardless of bail eligibility. The bill appropriates funds for fiscal year 2026 to support these zones through the commissioner of employment and economic development. The policy directly affects immigrant workers seeking employment, employers in designated zones, and local law enforcement agencies.
