AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINALS -- CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS -- INTERSTATE DETAINERS

HB 5663 requires state law enforcement agencies (including sheriffs' offices and the department of corrections) to honor all detainer requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The bill mandates that these agencies hold individuals in custody until federal immigration authorities take custody, without exception for the detainer requests. It directly affects people detained by state law enforcement who receive an ICE detainer, as it would prevent their release until ICE arrives. This bill does not change immigration law but alters how state agencies handle federal immigration detainers.
