The Secretary of Homeland Security shall continue to operate and implement the program known as the Institutional Removal Program
(IRP)which— 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 Institutional Removal Program shall be extended to all States. Any State that receives Federal funds for the incarceration of criminal aliens shall— cooperate with officials of the Institutional Removal 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 14 days after the alien has completed the alien’s State prison sentence in order to effectuate the transfer of the alien to Federal custody when the alien is removable or not lawfully present in the United States; or issue a detainer that would allow aliens who have served a State prison sentence to be detained by the State prison until personnel from United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement can take the alien into custody. Technology such as video conferencing shall be used to the maximum extent practicable in order to make the Institutional Removal Program available in remote locations. Mobile access to Federal databases of aliens, such as IDENT, 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.
