Directs AG to enter into agreement with U.S. Attorney General to empower certain corrections officers to investigate immigration status of inmates.
This bill (S 2562) directs New Jersey's Attorney General to create an agreement with the U.S. Attorney General under federal immigration law (Section 287(g)). It would authorize specific, trained state and county corrections officers to check an inmate's immigration status *only* at the time of incarceration. If an officer finds an inmate is not lawfully present in the U.S., they would report that information to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The bill does not allow officers to make immigration decisions or detain individuals, only to investigate status and report findings to federal authorities.
