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 about individuals arrested for certain offenses to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (U.S. ICE) upon request. This includes transmitting the name, address, date of birth, gender, and social security number of the arrestee, as well as providing a photograph and other physical descriptors. Additionally, the bill requires that these facilities grant U.S. ICE access to interview the arrested individuals.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that county detention facilities must comply with all requests from U.S. ICE, with certain exemptions for facilities where an ICE agent is stationed or where an employee is authorized to conduct immigration screenings. The definition of a "county detention facility" is also clarified to include 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 authorities.
