SB172

Specify persons unlawfully present are not privileged from arrest

Chamber Passed·6/18/25

Ohio SB172 prohibits privileges for those unlawfully present in the U.S. from arrest or detention.

Ohio SB172 amends the state's Revised Code to ensure that individuals who are, or are suspected of being, unlawfully present in the United States cannot claim any privilege from arrest, detention, or custody by federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies. This applies regardless of whether a warrant is present and whether the proceedings are administrative, civil, or criminal. The bill also prohibits public offices and officials from granting such privileges, enforcing conflicting rules, or interfering with law enforcement actions.
