Agencies would report civil immigration detentions every six months

Covered agencies would report detention counts and lengths to the attorney general every six months. The duty covers state and county correctional facilities, plus state, county, and local law enforcement agencies, that detain anyone for a civil immigration violation, even briefly. The bill provides no funding for this work. Reports would cover the preceding six months and be sent every six months. The first agency reports would be due by December 31, 2026.

The attorney general or a designee would send a summary report to state leaders every six months. The summary would cover information received from the correctional facilities and law enforcement agencies named in the bill. The first summary would be due by February 1, 2027, with further summaries every six months.
