It is the sense of Congress that— the removal of criminal aliens promotes public safety, national security, border security, and the integrity of the immigration system; detainers have proven to be a useful law enforcement tool that serve to expedite and improve the efficiency of the removal process by enabling the Department of Homeland Security to assume custody in a timely manner of aliens in the custody of Federal, State, tribal, or local law enforcement agencies; and several States and localities have limited their cooperation with immigration detainers issued by the Department of Homeland Security and limited the Department of Homeland Security’s access to information regarding the release of criminal aliens in their custody, which has resulted in the release of dangerous criminal aliens into local communities.
