Title

Illegal Immigration, deportation of alien unlawfully present in the U.S. prohibited until final adjudication of any criminal proceeding, Act 2011-535, 2011 Reg. Sess., am'd; Sec. 31-13-18 am'd

Description

Under existing law, when a person is charged for a crime for which bail is required or if the person is confined for any period in state, county, or municipal jail, efforts must be made to verify the person's immigration status. If the person is determined to be unlawfully present, he or she is considered a flight risk and is detained until prosecution or until transferred to federal immigration authorities.

This bill would require the state to expeditiously proceed with the criminal prosecution of a person not lawfully present in this state prior to the transfer of custody of the person to federal immigration authorities for deportation purposes.
