Summary

Existing federal law requires the federal government to compensate
a state for the costs of incarcerating undocumented criminal illegal
aliens, or to take the undocumented criminal alien into federal
custody, as specified.

This bill would require the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to demand in writing that the United States Attorney General take federal custody of any undocumented
criminal alien incarcerated in California's correctional system and, if the federal government does not comply with the demand, then the secretary shall annually bill the federal government for the costs of incarcerating undocumented criminal aliens.
