SHERIFFS; DUTIES AND AUTHORITY; Minnesota law does not authorize sheriffs to enter agreements under section 287(g) of the federal Immigration and Nationality Act. Instead, a county may execute a 287(g) agreement if the agreement is approved by a resolution of the county board of commissioners; Minnesota law prohibits local law enforcement officers from detaining or holding persons based solely on ICE civil immigration detainers regardless of whether the law enforcement agency is operating under a valid 287(g) agreement.
“The office of County Sheriff is established by state statute” and “[s]pecific powers and duties of county sheriffs are defined[.]” Op. Atty Gen.390a-6 (Oct. 31, 1994) (citing Minn. Stat. § 387.03). State law specifically authorizes sheriffs to enter certain types of contracts. See, e.g., Minn. Stat. § 436.05, subd. 1 (authorizing sheriffs to contract for furnishing of police service to cities and towns); Minn. Stat. § 624.714, subd. 2(c) (authorizing sheriff to contract with a police chief to process firearm permit applications). But no statute authorizes sheriffs to enter contracts with agencies of the federal government or to perform services on behalf of the federal government

ICE may issue immigration detainers to federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies. See 8 C.F.R. § 287.7. An immigration detainer “serves to advise another law enforcement agency that [DHS] seeks custody of an alien presently in the custody of that agency, for the purpose of arresting and removing the alien.” 8 C.F.R. § 287.7(a). The detainer “is a request” that the receiv- ing agency advise ICE before releasing the person and that it “maintain custody of the alien for a period not to exceed 48 hours…to permit assumption of custody by [DHS].” 8 C.F.R. § 287.7(a), (d). Several courts have confirmed that detainers are merely requests and are not mandatory. See e.g., United States v. California, 921 F.3d 865, 887 (9th Cir. 2019) (administrative warrants do not “compel[] any action by a state or local official”); Galarza v. Szalczyk, 745 F.3d 634, (3d Cir. 2014) (“[D]etainers are not mandatory.”); United States v. Illinois, 796 F. Supp. 3d 494, 528 (N.D. Ill. 2025) (“Detainers are requests, not requirements.”).
