The Commonwealth of Massachusetts _______________ In the One Hundred and Ninety-Fourth General Court (2025-2026) _______________ An Act relative to immigration detention and collaboration agreements. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows: 1 SECTION 1. Chapter 6 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2022 Official Edition, is 2 hereby amended by inserting after Section 222 the following new sections:- 3 Section 223. (a) As used in this section, the following words shall have the following 4 meanings: 5 “Covered entity”, any of the following entities, or any of their agents, officers, 6 employees, agencies, or departments: the Commonwealth, any law enforcement agency, or any 7 county, city, town, district, or authority in the Commonwealth. 8 “Immigration collaboration agreement”, any contract, agreement, memorandum of 9 understanding or other arrangement, whether formal or informal, that grants federal immigration 10 enforcement authority or powers to any covered entity, including, but not limited to, an 11 agreement made pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g).

2 of 3 12 “Immigration detention agreement”, any contract, agreement, memorandum of 13 understanding, intergovernmental service agreement, or other arrangement, whether formal or 14 informal, with any covered entity to arrest, detain, or house any person for the purpose of civil 15 immigration detention. 16 “Law enforcement agency”, an agency in the Commonwealth charged with enforcement 17 of state and municipal laws or with managing custody of detained or incarcerated persons in the 18 state, including, but not limited to, municipal police departments, sheriff’s departments, campus 19 police departments, hospital police departments, the Department of Corrections, Massachusetts 20 State Police, the Department of Youth Services, and any council, consortium, or professional 21 association of any of the foregoing entities. 22 (b) After the effective date of this Act, no covered entity may: 23 (1) enter into an immigration collaboration agreement or immigration detention 24 agreement; or 25 (2) extend or renew an existing immigration collaboration agreement or immigration 26 detention agreement. 27 (c) Any party to an existing agreement governed by this section shall terminate such 28 agreement as soon as practicable; provided that any immigration collaboration agreement shall 29 be terminated no later than 30 days from the effective date of this Act and any immigration 30 detention agreement shall be terminated no later than 90 days from the effective date of this Act. 31 (d) Whenever the Attorney General has reason to believe that any person or entity is 32 violating the provisions of this section, the Attorney General may bring an action in the name of

3 of 3 33 the Commonwealth against such person or entity to restrain such violation by temporary 34 restraining order or preliminary or permanent injunction. The action may be brought in the 35 Superior Court of the county in which such violation is occurring or is reasonably anticipated to 36 occur, or in the Superior Court of Suffolk County, at the Attorney General’s election. Nothing 37 herein shall preclude a private action concerning any violation of this section against any person 38 or entity, to the extent otherwise permitted by law.
