Publicly funded state and local institutions ensured to provide notice to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement when noncitizens are being housed in a facility under the institution's control.

HF 772 requires publicly funded state and local institutions (such as correctional facilities, county jails, and mental health institutions) to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when housing undocumented noncitizens. Specifically, it mandates that facility officers immediately inquire about a person's nationality upon commitment and, if undocumented, provide ICE with details including the person's country of citizenship, entry date/port, conviction details, and commitment length. The bill applies to both felony inmates and individuals committed for mental illness under public funding. It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 631.50, and requires all relevant institutions to implement this notice process by September 1, 2025. The policy change focuses solely on the notification requirement, not on ICE enforcement actions.
