SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Arrest and detention; illegal aliens. Provides that all law-enforcement officers have the authority to enforce immigration laws and that a law-enforcement officer may, in the course of acting upon reasonable suspicion that an individual has committed or is committing a crime, arrest the individual without a warrant upon receiving confirmation from the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement that the individual is an illegal alien, and has previously been convicted of a felony in the United States and deported or left the United States after such conviction. A magistrate may issue a warrant and the person may be detained for not more than 72 hours or until taken into federal custody, whichever occurs first. The bill creates a presumption that an individual shall not be admitted to bail if he is detained pursuant to this provision. This bill is identical to SB 493.
