D.C. would share immigration status
If enacted, D.C. would not be allowed to block its agencies from sharing a person’s citizenship or immigration status with other governments.

The District would also be required to follow Department of Homeland Security requests to honor detainers and to notify about a person’s release, when lawfully made. These rules would take effect upon enactment and would apply to all District entities and officials.
