HB 2566 expands state and local law enforcement responsibilities regarding immigration enforcement. The bill, titled the Texas Criminal Alien Track and Report Act, grants peace officers the authority to verify a person’s immigration status if they fail to provide acceptable identification during a lawful detention. It also mandates county jails and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to report data on inmates subject to immigration detainers and requires law enforcement agencies to pursue agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill includes provisions for civil penalties against local entities that refuse to comply with state immigration enforcement directives​.
