Health facilities requirement to limit access to premises in certain circumstances
This bill requires health care facilities in Minnesota to restrict access to their premises by law enforcement agents conducting civil immigration enforcement unless those agents present a valid judicial warrant. It applies to hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities, mandating that staff verify the identity and authority of any law enforcement personnel and grant entry only to areas specified in a warrant. The legislation also requires facilities to develop and implement written policies outlining procedures for handling interactions with immigration enforcement agents, including designating legal contacts and documenting agent information. Health care facility employees must immediately notify facility leadership and legal representatives when granting entry to civil immigration enforcement agents.
