A bill for an act relating to state law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration and customs enforcement.

SF 2097 requires all Iowa state law enforcement agencies and officers to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal immigration agencies when requested. It specifically mandates that if law enforcement has custody of a person named in an immigration detainer request from ICE, they must fully comply with that request and any related legal documents. The bill directly affects Iowa police departments, sheriff's offices, and state troopers by changing how they handle federal immigration detainer requests. This policy change shifts responsibility to state agencies to comply with federal immigration holds rather than allowing them to independently decide whether to honor such requests.
