AN ACT AUTHORIZING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO HOLD CERTAIN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS PURSUANT TO AN ICE DETAINER REQUEST.

HB 6510 would allow state and local police to hold undocumented immigrants for up to 48 hours without a court warrant if they are charged with a class A, B, or C felony or a crime of family violence, based solely on an ICE detainer request. This directly affects undocumented immigrants facing these specific criminal charges. The bill's key provision removes the requirement for a judicial warrant to temporarily detain such individuals while ICE processes their custody request. It does not change immigration status or lead to deportation but extends law enforcement's hold period for coordination with federal authorities.
