"If the bill becomes law — it'll make it a crime for these counties, any county, any local government to contract with ICE to house ICE detainees," KOAT legal expert John Day said.

The Immigrant Safety Act, also known as House Bill 9, has passed the state Senate following a 24-15 vote. The legislation now heads to the governor's desk.
