Introduced by: David B. Albo | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Immigration query at arrest or during detention.  Provides that when a law-enforcement officer lawfully detains a person who cannot produce a driver’s license or properly identify himself following a lawful traffic stop, the officer is authorized, during the detention, to make certain prescribed inquiries of the detainee and of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). If the officer forms a reasonable suspicion, on the basis of such inquiries, that the person is unlawfully present in the United States and determines that the person has also been previously deported, the officer may arrest the person or, if he has not been previously deported, detain the person for transfer of custody to the federal government.
