This bill codifies the Attorney General's directive titled "Strengthening Trust Between Law Enforcement and Immigrant Communities," which clarifies the roles of state and local law enforcement in relation to federal immigration enforcement. It establishes that these agencies are not responsible for enforcing federal civil immigration laws and prohibits law enforcement officers from stopping, questioning, arresting, searching, or detaining individuals based solely on their actual or suspected immigration status, with certain exceptions for ongoing investigations. Additionally, the bill restricts law enforcement from assisting federal immigration authorities for civil enforcement purposes and prohibits entering into or modifying agreements under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The legislation also mandates that law enforcement agencies develop procedures for processing T-visa and U-visa certifications for victims of crime or human trafficking within 120 days, while ensuring confidentiality regarding applicants' immigration status. It requires training for law enforcement officers on these new requirements and emphasizes public education to strengthen trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities. Furthermore, the bill outlines specific requirements for prosecutors regarding immigration consequences during court appearances, restricts the presentation of immigration status evidence to juries, and mandates annual reporting of any assistance provided to federal authorities. Overall, the bill aims to promote public safety by fostering cooperation between law enforcement and all community members, regardless of immigration status.
