The Secretary shall continue to operate and implement a program that— identifies removable criminal aliens in Federal and State correctional facilities; ensures such aliens are not released into the community; and removes such aliens from the United States after the completion of their sentences. The program shall be extended to all States. Any State that receives Federal funds for the incarceration of criminal aliens (pursuant to the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program authorized under section 241(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1231(i) ) or other similar program) shall— cooperate with officials of the program; expeditiously and systematically identify criminal aliens in its prison and jail populations; and promptly convey such information to officials of such program as a condition of receiving such funds.
Law enforcement officers of a State, or of a political subdivision of a State, are authorized to— hold a criminal alien for a period of up to 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) after the alien has completed the alien’s sentence under State or local law in order to effectuate the transfer of the alien to Federal custody when the alien is inadmissible or deportable; or issue a detainer that would allow aliens who have served a prison sentence under State or local law to be detained by the State or local prison or jail until the Secretary can take the alien into custody.
Technology, such as video conferencing, shall be used to the maximum extent practicable in order to make the program available in remote locations. Mobile access to Federal databases of aliens and live scan technology shall be used to the maximum extent practicable in order to make these resources available to State and local law enforcement agencies in remote locations. This section shall take effect of the date of the enactment of this Act, except that subsection (a)(2) shall take effect on the date that is 180 days after such date.
