Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Police and jails face immigration limits

Beginning May 31, 2026, local jail staff may not ask about citizenship, immigration status, or birthplace, or hold someone longer to check status. They may not notify or transfer people to federal immigration authorities without a valid judicial warrant or court order. Police doing routine duties also may not ask about status, hold for immigration checks, transfer to federal authorities, or share information, unless required by federal law or a valid court order. These limits do not block routine booking, questions that are material to a criminal investigation, or entering data in NCIC. Staff may not coerce or threaten anyone based on real or perceived immigration status. Some rules do not apply to “covered convicted individuals,” such as people convicted of a Maryland felony or required to register as sex offenders. The Attorney General or a harmed person can sue to stop violations.

Release notice and court detainer rules

Beginning May 31, 2026, state prisons must give written notice to federal immigration authorities within 48 hours before releasing anyone with an active immigration detainer. This notice rule does not apply to the Baltimore City Detention Center or the Centralized Booking Facility run by Pretrial Detention and Services. District Court commissioners and judges may consider an immigration detainer when deciding pretrial release or bail in felony cases. An immigration detainer is a federal request to hold someone, based on probable cause of removability, and it must include Form I‑205 or a successor form.
