Bill overview
The Immigration Detainer Enforcement Act of 2021 aims to strengthen federal efforts to remove unlawfully present aliens by expanding the circumstances under which Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can issue detainer requests to local law enforcement agencies. It broadens the types of arrests that trigger detainer requests beyond just drug offenses, and it provides financial incentives for states and localities to comply with detainer requests. The bill also seeks to improve coordination between federal and local law enforcement, ensuring access to information and prioritizing funding and property for jurisdictions that actively assist in detainer compliance.
