18-9005. Cooperation with federal authorities. (1) To the extent authorized by federal law, law enforcement officials shall be authorized to send, receive, and maintain information relating to the immigration status of illegal aliens for public safety purposes. Except as provided by federal law, law enforcement officials shall not be prohibited from receiving or maintaining information relating to the immigration status of any illegal alien or sending or exchanging such information with other federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies for official public safety purposes.

(2) Law enforcement officials shall not be prohibited from entering into memorandums of understanding, agreements, and memorandums of agreement with the United States department of justice, DHS, or any other federal law enforcement agency for the purpose of enforcing federal immigration laws, including section 287(g) of the federal illegal immigration reform and immigrant responsibility act of 1996, P.L. 104-208, or a similar federal program.

(3) Except as provided by federal law, no law enforcement official shall be prohibited from utilizing available federal resources, including databases, equipment, grant funds, training, or participation in incentive programs, for any public safety purpose related to the enforcement of federal immigration laws as against illegal aliens.

(4) Where a custodial authority has custody of a person in a correctional facility, state rehabilitation center, penitentiary, prison, county jail, or city jail, and the person is subject to an immigration detainer or other federal warrant, the custodial authority shall comply with, honor, and fulfill any reasonable request made in the immigration detainer or warrant as long as any term of state-ordered confinement has been satisfied and it does not impose undue burden, risk, or expense on the custodial authority or law enforcement officials and shall inform the person identified in the immigration detainer or warrant that the person is being held pursuant to such immigration detainer or warrant.
