Protects hospital patients and staff from immigration arrests; restricts federal immigration officers from entering hospitals without a judicial.
The bill, known as the "sanctuary hospitals act," shields individuals receiving care, employed, or present at a hospital from civil immigration arrests. It mandates that federal immigration officers cannot enter hospital premises unless they present a judicial warrant or order. This warrant or order must be signed by a United States district judge or federal magistrate judge and show probable cause that an individual has committed a crime or offense. The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
