Law enforcement holds of certain persons subject to federal immigration detainers authorization

This bill authorizes Minnesota law enforcement agencies to hold individuals for up to 48 hours after their arrest if the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued an immigration detainer. It applies only to people who are not U.S. citizens or do not have lawful immigration status, and it protects officers from liability if they act in good faith while following these procedures. Under the law, a court's order to release a defendant is paused during this holding period to allow time for a secure transfer to federal authorities, but the person remains under the court's jurisdiction and can still post bail. If federal officials do not take custody within the 48-hour window, the individual must be released immediately provided all other bail conditions are met.
