HB 2188: Illegal alien offenders

Changing the provisions relating to the early deportation of illegal alien offenders.

Summary

  • Removes the requirement of approval by the sentencing court and the prosecuting attorney in the county of conviction as a prerequisite to placing an alien offender on conditional release status.
  • Removes the requirement that the Secretary of the Department of Corrections (Secretary) make a finding that a placement of an alien offender on conditional release status is in the best interests of the state.
  • Adds a requirement that before an alien offender is placed on conditional release status, the Secretary must have reached an agreement with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) that once the offender has been placed in the custody of the ICE, that offender will remain in total confinement at a facility operated by the ICE pending the offender's return to his or her country of origin or other location designated in the deportation or exclusion order.
