This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to remove the authority for certain federal agents, specifically those from the United States Customs and Border Protection and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, to perform arrests under state law. The amendment to section 629.30, subdivision 2, eliminates the provision that allowed these federal officers to make arrests without a warrant, thereby restricting the power to arrest to peace officers and private individuals assisting them. The specific language deleted from the statute is the provision that previously granted this authority to federal agents.

Additionally, the bill repeals section 629.34, subdivision 2, which outlined the circumstances under which federal officers could arrest individuals without a warrant. The effective date for these changes is set for the day following final enactment, indicating a prompt implementation of the new restrictions on arrest authority.
