Requiring communities to assist immigration officials
As part of Gov. Tim Pawlenty's proposed reforms on immigration in Minnesota, local law officers would be required to collect more information on the citizenship and immigration status of those they arrest and pass that data along to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
Some police departments disagree with the policy. HF2576 would require law enforcement agencies to participate as outlined in Gov. Pawlenty's proposals.
Although the bill passed the House, it never received a hearing in the Senate.

March 20, 2006 (HF2576)
The House voted to push Minneapolis and St. Paul police to turn over more illegal immigrants to federal authorities. The 94-37 vote for the bill - to do away with local ordinances restricting officers from asking immigrants about their legal status - signals turbulence ahead.

March 13, 2006 (HSF2576)
New language inserted in the bill goes beyond the previous language that would prohibit a city from adopting so-called “sanctuary ordinances.” The new language states that local governments cannot restrict, in any way, an employee from sending information to, requesting or receiving the information from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency; or exchanging immigration information with any federal, state or local governmental unit. The new provisions are not limited to investigations where immigration is an element of the crime. No roll call vote is available.
Result: Passed
House Local Government committee approval
March 1, 2006 (HF2576)
House Local Government committee approved the measure on a 15-3 vote. Rep. Jim Knoblach (R-St. Cloud), chief sponsor of the bill, said both Minneapolis and St. Paul have ordinances in place that prevent their law enforcement officers from collecting and sharing information on residents’ immigration status with the federal government. He said the ordinances are a violation of federal law.
