Officials who hide when criminal non-citizens are released would face federal charges.
This bill would make it a federal crime for state and local officials to stop sharing information about when non-citizens charged with crimes are released. Officials who block these notices could face fines and prison time. The punishment would depend on how serious the non-citizen's crime was.
Today, some state and local governments have rules that prevent their officials from fully sharing information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) about when non-citizens charged with crimes are released. After this bill, it would be a federal crime for senior state or local officials to knowingly stop or limit these requests for early notice. Officials could face fines and prison time, depending on the seriousness of the non-citizen's crime.
