SF 5299 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Immigration enforcement provisions modifications

This bill establishes protections for individuals attending court proceedings by prohibiting civil arrests for immigration violations within and around courthouses. It defines specific terms such as "civil arrest" and "court companion" to clarify who is protected and what constitutes a protected activity. The legislation also expands investigations into the use of force by law enforcement and modifies laws related to concealing identity. These changes directly affect people involved in legal cases, their support networks, and law enforcement agencies operating in Minnesota.
