Permits State, local government agencies, and private detention facilities to enter into agreement to detain noncitizens.

This bill repeals a current prohibition that prevented New Jersey state/local agencies and private detention facilities from entering into agreements to detain noncitizens for immigration violations. It removes the restriction in existing law (P.L.2021, c.199) that barred such agreements, allowing these entities to now enter, renew, or extend immigration detention agreements. The bill defines an "immigration detention agreement" as any contract or memorandum authorizing the housing or detention of noncitizens for civil immigration violations. This change directly affects state and local government agencies, county sheriffs, and private facilities operating in New Jersey.
