Establishing requirements for the county sheriff operating a jail for the enforcement of United States immigration and customs enforcement detainers, requiring municipal insurance pools to provide coverage for law enforcement that enforces federal laws, requiring the state to pay certain judgements in a federal court action, requiring the attorney general to provide representation in certain civil actions and authorizing county sheriffs to enter into certain interlocal cooperation agreements without the approval of the board of county commissioners.
HB 2771 establishes procedures for Kansas county sheriffs operating jails regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers. It requires sheriffs to detain individuals based on facially sufficient ICE detainer forms (I-247A) for up to 48 hours without criminal charges, with specific documentation requirements and release conditions including proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill also mandates municipal insurance pools to cover law enforcement actions enforcing federal law and requires the state to pay certain federal court judgments and provide attorney general representation in related civil actions. Additionally, it updates interlocal cooperation agreements for county sheriffs without needing board approval.
