 ASSISTANCE BY STATE AND LOCAL POLICE IN APPREHENDING ILLEGAL ALIENS
Courts have made clear that federal and state officers have authority briefly to detain persons based on reasonable suspicion that they have committed or are committing a violation of federal law, including the immigration laws.
Armed with such reasonable suspicion that a federal crime has occurred, it is appropriate and consistent with relevant precedent for state officers to detain the undocumented alien for a reasonable period pending an expert determination of probable cause and suitability for arrest by the Border Patrol or other INS agents.
Although the state officers might not themselves be able to arrest the federal misdemeanor suspects -- at least absent probable cause that a separate state felony has been committed -- their authority to assist federal officers in doing so is well established.
