Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate federal immigration detainers and related authority.
It strikes specific statutory provisions (8 U.S.C. 1226(c)(3) and 8 U.S.C. 1357(d)), prevents the Secretary from conditioning intergovernmental agreements on detainer enforcement, and bars the Secretary from issuing or enforcing any detainer or hold by any formal or informal instrument.
Narrow but ideologically charged rollback of federal enforcement lacking compromise; historically difficult to enact such sweeping enforcement limits.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clear and narrowly focused substantive policy change that accomplishes its primary legal effect by directly amending specified provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act and adding an overarching prohibition on issuance or enforcement of detainers.

Likely strongly supportive.
The bill removes a tool that ties local policing to federal immigration enforcement, reducing civil liberties risks and racialized policing.
It would be viewed as restoring local control and protecting immigrant communities from prolonged holds without judicial process.
Mixed but cautiously receptive.
The bill addresses civil‑liberties and trust issues, but raises legitimate public‑safety and implementation concerns.
Support would depend on safeguards, transitional plans, and clear federal alternatives for handling removable criminals.
Likely strongly opposed.
The bill is seen as weakening immigration enforcement and removing a practical tool to transfer removable noncitizen criminals to federal custody.
It would be viewed as jeopardizing public safety and reducing cooperation between levels of government.
