SF598

The legislative bill SF No 598 mandates that any state or local facility in Minnesota that is publicly funded must notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if they suspect that an individual in their custody is undocumented. This includes when a person is convicted of a felony, deemed mentally ill, or identified as posing a risk due to mental illness. The required details for the notification include the date and nature of conviction or commitment, the duration of the sentence or commitment, the individual’s country of citizenship, and their last point of entry into the United States. This bill applies to various institutions including state or county correctional facilities and mental health institutions.
