"Immigration Enforcement Support Act"; authorizes law enforcement agency to detain and transfer to federal immigration authorities persons illegally in State; provides compensation to law enforcement agency for deportation.

This bill, the "Immigration Enforcement Support Act" (A5232), authorizes New Jersey state and local law enforcement agencies to detain noncitizens they believe are in the U.S. illegally and transfer them to federal immigration authorities, regardless of any other charges against the person. It directly affects law enforcement agencies and noncitizens in New Jersey. Key provisions include requiring the state to pay participating law enforcement agencies $7,000 for each successfully deported person, with payments split proportionally if multiple agencies were involved in the detention. The Attorney General must establish rules for determining eligibility and distributing the compensation.
