The bill amends Section 27A.2 of the Iowa Code to establish clear duties for state law enforcement agencies regarding cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It mandates that all law enforcement agencies and officers in Iowa must cooperate with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal immigration-related agencies upon request.

Additionally, the bill specifies that any law enforcement agency in Iowa that has custody of an individual subject to an immigration detainer request from ICE must fully comply with the instructions outlined in the detainer request and any related legal documents provided by federal agencies. This legislation aims to enhance collaboration between state and federal law enforcement in matters of immigration enforcement.
