This bill aims to prohibit local governments in Minnesota from entering into contracts with the federal government for the purpose of providing detention facilities for individuals detained due to civil violations of federal immigration law. It introduces new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 471, specifically creating a section that defines key terms such as "federal government" and "local government." The bill clearly states that any agreements made for this purpose, regardless of when they were established, will be considered void.

The legislation emphasizes that local governments, which include counties and cities, are not allowed to engage in such agreements, thereby reinforcing a stance against the collaboration with federal immigration enforcement in this context. The effective date of this prohibition is set for the day following the final enactment of the bill.
