Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2573 mandates cooperation between local and state law enforcement and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Massachusetts H2573 requires local and state law enforcement agencies to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This includes honoring ICE detainers, maintaining custody of individuals for up to 48 hours beyond their release date, and sharing information about individuals' immigration status. Exceptions apply if state or federal law prohibits such actions or if they would violate constitutional rights. Local and state law enforcement may also decline to detain individuals if no probable cause exists for a criminal charge independent of immigration status.
