Law enforcement: immigration: felons.

Abstract

Existing law provides that a law enforcement official has discretion to cooperate with federal immigration officials by detaining an individual on the basis of an immigration hold after that individual becomes eligible for release from custody only if 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, and only under other specified circumstances. This bill would prohibit a local law enforcement agency from seeking custody of a previously convicted felon who is being detained or incarcerated by another law enforcement agency if the felon is scheduled for deportation or transfer to federal authorities for deportation proceedings unless there is an outstanding felony warrant, and the agency has confirmed that the prosecutorial authority with jurisdiction to prosecute the felony has a current intent to prosecute that felony. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
