This bill would require state and local police to share information about people in their custody with federal immigration authorities. This includes sharing a person's citizenship status, where they are being held, and exactly when they are scheduled to be released from jail.
Local jails would have to give federal agents a 48-hour heads-up before releasing specific individuals. If a person is ordered to be released early by a judge, the jail would be required to hold them for up to two extra days to give federal agents time to take them into custody.
The policy would ban local governments from punishing their own employees for sharing immigration information. It also gives local officers legal protection from being sued personally while they are helping federal agents enforce immigration laws.
If a city or state refuses to follow these rules, they could lose federal money. The government could cut off Department of Justice grants that are normally used to help pay for local police and law enforcement programs.
