The Connecticut TRUST Act under CGS 54-192h restricts state and local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration detainers and ICE civil enforcement statewide.
Connecticut General Statutes Section 54-192h, known as the TRUST Act, prohibits state and local law enforcement officers from detaining individuals based solely on a federal civil immigration detainer unless specific criteria are met, such as a judicial warrant or convictions for serious felonies. The statute restricts information sharing about release dates, home addresses, and work locations with ICE absent a judicial order. Amendments expanded protections to limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement in courthouses and other sensitive locations. The law applies uniformly across all Connecticut municipalities.
Noncompliance by officers can result in disciplinary action, civil liability, and statutory penalties; agencies that violate the act may face state oversight.
