This bill seeks to fundamentally alter immigration enforcement by eliminating immigration detainers . It achieves this by amending several sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act, specifically striking paragraph (3) of section 236 and subsection (d) of section 287, which concern the apprehension and detention of aliens and the detainer of aliens for controlled substances violations, respectively. The legislation explicitly prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from issuing or enforcing any detainer or hold under immigration laws. This prohibition extends to agreements with federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies, ensuring that such agencies cannot be compelled to enforce detainers as a condition of intergovernmental service agreements.
