Legislation

HS 1 for HB 368 reduces law enforcement's cooperation with immigration officials by limiting when they honor detainer requests. A detainer request is an administrative request from ICE to hold an individual beyond their scheduled release or notify ICE prior to their release. This legislation would prohibit law enforcement from detaining or extending the detention of any person based solely upon an immigration detainer or civil immigration warrant, and provides exceptions for violent felonies, domestic violence, sex offenses, and repeat DUIs.    

House Substitute 1 for House Bill 94 limits state law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement at schools and churches.

Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) will guarantee that early in-person voting is safeguarded for Delaware voters. Early in-person voting reduces Election Day wait times, improves election administration by allowing officials to address issues in advance, and increases voter participation.

Senate Bill 3 would allow all registered voters to vote by mail without needing an excuse, and protects permanent absentee voter status.

House Substitute 1 for House Bill 150 limits state law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement at courthouses.

House Bill 145 (HB 145) prohibits both reverse location and reverse keyword searches and warrants in Delaware, protecting access to reproductive and gender-affirming care.

House Bill 182 prohibits local law enforcement from working with federal immigration agencies to enforce immigration laws or share related information — banning 287(g) agreements with ICE in Delaware.

Senate Bill 7 (SB 7) and Senate Bill 8 (SB 8) tailor conditions to the individual and limit the use of some existing standard conditions that create unnecessary barriers to successful re-entry.
