Notice provided to United States immigration and Customs and Enforcement when a suspected undocumented person is being housed in a facility under the institution's control by certain publicly funded state and local institutions requirement provision

SF 598 requires publicly funded state and local facilities - such as prisons, county jails, and mental health institutions - to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when housing noncitizens suspected of being undocumented. Specifically, facility staff must immediately inquire about a person’s nationality upon commitment for a felony or mental health reasons, and if undocumented, provide ICE with four details: conviction date/crime, sentence length, country of citizenship, and entry date/entry point. The bill applies to all facilities receiving public funding and mandates that facilities conduct this review for all felony inmates by September 1, 2025. This is a procedural requirement focused on information sharing, not on altering immigration enforcement policies.
