Title II of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1151 et seq. ) is amended by inserting after section 240C the following: If a State, or a political subdivision of a State, exercising authority with respect to the apprehension or arrest of an inadmissible or deportable alien submits to the Secretary of Homeland Security a request that the alien be taken into Federal custody, notwithstanding any other provision of law, regulation, or policy the Secretary— shall take the alien into custody not later than 48 hours after the request has been issued following the conclusion of the State or local charging process or dismissal process, or if no State or local charging or dismissal process is required, the Secretary shall issue a detainer and take the alien into custody not later than 48 hours after the alien is apprehended, in order to determine whether the alien should be detained, placed in removal proceedings, released, or removed; or shall request that the relevant State or local law enforcement agency temporarily hold the alien in their custody or transport the alien for transfer to Federal custody.
In carrying out section 241(g)(1), the Attorney General or Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that an alien arrested under this title shall be held in custody, pending the alien’s examination under this section, in a Federal, contract, State, or local prison, jail, detention center, or other comparable facility. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, regulation or policy, such facility is adequate for detention, if— such a facility is the most suitably located Federal, contract, State, or local facility available for such purpose under the circumstances; an appropriate arrangement for such use of the facility can be made; and the facility satisfies the standards for the housing, care, and security of persons held in custody by a United States Marshal.
The Secretary of Homeland Security shall reimburse a State, or a political subdivision of a State, for all reasonable expenses, as determined by the Secretary, incurred by the State, or political subdivision, as a result of the incarceration and transportation of an alien who is inadmissible or deportable as described in subsections
(a)and (b). Compensation provided for costs incurred under such subsections shall be the average cost of incarceration of a prisoner in the relevant State, as determined by the chief executive officer of a State, or of a political subdivision of a State, plus the cost of transporting the alien from the point of apprehension to the place of detention, and to the custody transfer point if the place of detention and place of custody are different. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that aliens incarcerated pursuant to this title are held in facilities that provide an appropriate level of security. In carrying out this section, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish a regular circuit and schedule for the prompt transfer of apprehended aliens from the custody of States, and political subdivisions of a State, to Federal custody. The Secretary may enter into contracts, including appropriate private contracts, to implement this subsection. .
