House Substitute 1 for House Bill 368 w/ House Amendment 1: Immigration Enforcement and Cooperation
House Substitute 1 for House Bill 368 with House Amendment 1 (HS 1 for HB 368 w/ HA 1) 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 prohibits 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.
