What about this one?

§ 1252c. Authorizing State and local law enforcement officials to arrest and detain certain illegal aliens

How Current is This?

(a) In general

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, to the extent permitted by relevant State and local law, State and local law enforcement officials are authorized to arrest and detain an individual who—

(1) is an alien illegally present in the United States; and

(2) has previously been convicted of a felony in the United States and deported or left the United States after such conviction,

but only after the State or local law enforcement officials obtain appropriate confirmation from the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the status of such individual and only for such period of time as may be required for the Service to take the individual into Federal custody for purposes of deporting or removing the alien from the United States.

(b) Cooperation

The Attorney General shall cooperate with the States to assure that information in the control of the Attorney General, including information in the National Crime Information Center, that would assist State and local law enforcement officials in carrying out duties under subsection (a) of this section is made available to such officials.

It seems to me that this section authorizes states to inform federal authorities so they can pick up the illegal alien.

...It seems to me that this section authorizes states to inform federal authorities so they can pick up the illegal alien...

It says “authorized.” Not must arrest.
It also says the Attorney General shall cooperate with the states,but nothing about the states cooperating with the Attorney General.

Two big lunatic liberal gaps in the law.
No one would ever have believed this liberal nonsense would be happening now when the law was enacted.
