Assist the return to Minnesota of persons removed to other states due to alleged immigration law violations

This bill allows individuals removed from Minnesota due to alleged immigration violations to request help returning to the state if they are released from detention without transportation. The Department of Public Safety would arrange travel for these individuals at taxpayer expense or reimburse them for reasonable return costs. The law also requires the department to create guidelines for processing these requests while accepting any reasonable assistance requests. Funding for these transportation costs would come from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2027.
