HB 6665 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES AND INDIVIDUALS SUBJECT TO CIVIL IMMIGRATION DETAINERS.

HB 6665 amends state law to clarify when local law enforcement must hold individuals for federal immigration authorities. It allows federal immigration officials to interview people in local custody and restores specific reasons for detention, including felony convictions, pending criminal charges without bond, outstanding warrants, gang affiliations, terror database matches, final deportation orders, or public safety risks. The bill directly affects individuals detained by local police who face federal immigration detainers. It changes procedural rules for custody transfers but does not create new enforcement powers or funding.
