The proposed bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to the Arizona Revised Statutes that mandates county detention facilities to provide specific personal identifying information, including name, address, date of birth, gender, and social security number, of individuals arrested for certain offenses to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (U.S. ICE) on a daily basis or upon request. The offenses specified include burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault on a law enforcement officer, and any offense resulting in death or serious bodily injury. Additionally, the bill requires these facilities to provide photographs and physical descriptors of the arrested individuals and grant U.S. ICE access for interviews.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that county detention facilities must comply with all requests made by U.S. ICE, with exceptions for facilities where an ICE agent is stationed or where an employee is authorized to conduct immigration screenings. The bill also defines "county detention facility" as any location used by a county sheriff's office for the confinement of individuals arrested for the specified offenses. Overall, the bill aims to enhance cooperation between local detention facilities and federal immigration enforcement.
