Immigration policy; creating the Prohibition on Sanctuary Policies for Illegal Immigration Act. Effective date.

SB 868 prohibits Oklahoma state and local governments from implementing "sanctuary policies" that block cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It requires law enforcement agencies to support federal immigration enforcement by complying with immigration detainers (federal requests to hold individuals), sharing inmate release information with federal agencies, and allowing federal interviews of detainees. The bill also mandates judges to reduce sentences by up to 12 days in criminal cases where defendants face immigration detainers, facilitating their transfer to federal custody. This directly affects county jails, police departments, and state agencies that manage detention facilities.
