SB267

Existing law provides that before a prisoner who is in the custody of a county or city jail or detention facility is questioned about his or her immigration status, the prisoner must be informed about the purpose of the questions. (NRS 211.007) Section 3 of this bill repeals this provision. Section 1 of this bill provides that if a county or city jail or detention facility determines that a prisoner has been charged with certain offenses and is unlawfully present in the United States or did not possess the necessary documents when applying for admission, the county or city jail or detention facility must provide certain information concerning the prisoner to a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. Existing law requires the Attorney General to publish model policies which provide guidance and training recommendations to state and local law enforcement agencies. In relevant part, existing law requires these model policies to limit, to the fullest extent practicable, the engagement of state and local law enforcement agencies with federal immigration authorities for the purpose of immigration enforcement. (NRS 228.206) Section 2 of this bill removes the requirement that the model policies include these provisions related to immigration.
