An act relating to state government.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1510, as introduced, Committee on Public Safety. State
government: federal immigration policy enforcement.
Existing federal law authorizes any authorized immigration officer
to issue an immigration detainer that serves to advise another law
enforcement agency that the federal department seeks custody of an
alien presently in the custody of that agency, for the purpose of
arresting and removing the alien. Existing federal law provides that
the detainer is a request that the agency advise the department,
prior to release of the alien, in order for the department to arrange
to assume custody in situations when gaining immediate physical
custody is either impracticable or impossible.
Existing state law prohibits a law enforcement official, as
defined, from detaining an individual on the basis of a United States
Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold after that individual
becomes eligible for release from custody, unless, at the time that
the individual becomes eligible for release from custody, certain
conditions are met, including, among other things, that the
individual has been convicted at any time of a felony for specified
offenses and the continued detention of the individual on the basis
of the immigration hold would not violate any federal, state, or
local law, or any local policy.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation relating to immigration.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation relating to immigration.
