They introduced the Immigration Detainer Enforcement Act this week, which would give states and localities the authority to keep immigrants in custody upon Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s issuance of a detainer and hold them until ICE can assume custody of them.
This bill comes just months after Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a bill that would have forced local sheriffs to comply with ICE in holding individuals for whom the organization had issued a detainer.
