# O.C.G.A. § 42-1-11.4. Reports regarding foreign-born inmates in custody.

The commissioner shall, on the official public website used by the department, publish a report of aggregate data on the immigration status, offenses, and home countries of inmates who are confined under the authority of the department who are not citizens of the United States and to whom the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the Department of Homeland Security has issued immigration detainer notices as such term is defined in Code Section 42-1-11.5. Each report shall include the total number of inmates who are not citizens of the United States; provided, however, that any inmates who are citizens of both the United States and one or more other countries shall be designated as such as a separate category. Such report shall be first published on October 1, 2024, and every 90 days thereafter; provided, however, that if the ninetieth day falls on a state holiday or Saturday or Sunday, then such report shall be published the next business day.
