Authorizes law enforcement to hold certain individuals subject to federal immigration detainers for up to 48 hours.
The bill allows law enforcement to hold individuals subject to federal immigration detainers for up to 48 hours to facilitate their transfer to federal authorities. This hold does not apply to U.S. citizens or those with lawful immigration status. During this period, the individual remains under judicial oversight and may post bail. If federal authorities do not take custody within the specified time, the individual must be released. The hold is considered a continuation of lawful custody and does not constitute a new arrest or denial of bail.
