This bill mandates that law enforcement agencies and courts in New Jersey cooperate with federal immigration authorities regarding non-citizens who are unlawfully present in the country. Specifically, it requires law enforcement agencies to notify federal immigration authorities within 24 hours of arresting a non-citizen charged with certain crimes, including those of the first through fourth degree and specific disorderly or petty disorderly offenses related to controlled substances, theft, and robbery. The purpose of this notification is to initiate deportation proceedings.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that sentencing courts must immediately contact federal immigration authorities upon convicting a non-citizen of the specified crimes to initiate deportation proceedings. Correctional facilities housing convicted non-citizens are also required to notify federal immigration authorities for the same purpose. Furthermore, parole or probation officers overseeing convicted non-citizens must also ensure that federal immigration authorities are contacted to facilitate deportation proceedings.
