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 otherwise present at a hospital from immigration arrests. It prohibits federal immigration officers from entering hospitals unless they have a judicial warrant or order, which must be signed by a United States district judge or federal magistrate judge and demonstrate probable cause. The commissioner is tasked with ensuring compliance, including training hospital personnel on handling immigration and customs enforcement requests.
