The proposed "Immigrant Safety Act" aims to enhance public safety by prohibiting public bodies in New Mexico from entering into agreements that facilitate the detention of individuals for federal civil immigration violations. The bill mandates that any existing agreements of this nature must be terminated immediately upon the act's effective date. It defines "public body" broadly to include state and local governments, advisory boards, commissions, and any entities receiving public funding. Additionally, the act prohibits public bodies from selling or leasing property for the purpose of detaining individuals for immigration violations and ensures that no conflicting laws or regulations can be enforced.

Enforcement of the act is designated to the attorney general or district attorneys, who can initiate civil actions in district court if they suspect violations. The courts are empowered to provide appropriate relief, including injunctive measures, but not monetary damages. The act also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the legislation is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable.
