Related bill: SF598

AI Generated Summary

The legislative bill introduced in Minnesota requires that state and local institutions funded by public money must notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they are housing a person suspected to be an undocumented immigrant. This applies particularly when such individuals are committed following a felony conviction or are found to have certain mental illnesses. The facilities affected include state correctional facilities, county jails, and other related institutions. The required notification to ICE must include information such as the conviction date, details of the crime, commitment duration, the individual’s nationality, and the entry details of the undocumented person into the United States. Additionally, the bill mandates a review by September 1, 2025, for all inmates serving felony sentences in these institutions to determine their citizenship status, and if found to be undocumented, the same notification procedure follows.
