This bill would update current statutes by introducing new provisions that restrict the actions of municipal, county, and state law enforcement agencies in relation to federal immigration authorities. Specifically, it would prohibit these agencies from stopping, questioning, or detaining individuals based on their citizenship or immigration status, and from using public resources to assist in federal immigration enforcement. Additionally, any conflicting agreements or practices would be rendered void upon the bill's effective date. The bill also mandates that individuals in custody receive documentation regarding immigration detainers and an explanation if law enforcement chooses to comply with such requests.

Moreover, the bill requires law enforcement agencies to report their interactions with immigration authorities to the Attorney General, including details on detainer requests and interviews. The Attorney General would then be responsible for publicly posting this information and providing annual compliance summaries to the Governor and Legislature. The bill emphasizes the confidentiality of individuals' immigration-related information and allows data collection only when necessary for public services. It also includes a severability clause and would be titled the "Immigrant Trust Act," thereby enhancing transparency and accountability in law enforcement's engagement with immigration matters.
