This bill proposes significant updates to current statutes regarding the interaction of municipal, county, and state law enforcement agencies with federal immigration authorities. Under the new provisions, law enforcement agencies would be prohibited from stopping, questioning, or detaining individuals based on their immigration status or citizenship, as well as from using public resources to assist in federal immigration enforcement. Additionally, any agreements or practices that conflict with these new restrictions are rendered void upon the bill's effective date. Agencies would also be required to provide individuals in custody with information regarding any immigration detainers or requests they receive. The bill introduces reporting requirements for law enforcement agencies, mandating them to submit detailed reports to the Attorney General regarding immigration-related requests and their responses. This includes the number of detainer requests, interviews conducted, and any access granted to immigration authorities regarding municipal databases. The Attorney General is tasked with posting this information publicly and providing annual summaries of compliance to the Governor and Legislature. Furthermore, the bill includes a severability clause and is designated as the "Immigrant Trust Act."
