Immigration and customs authorities have been granted a temporary expansion of their authority. They can now verify the identity of individuals who have been hospitalized and detained. This expanded power is limited to a checkpoint on Highway 128 in Luginën Qendrore, California, where the authorities have been granted temporary control of traffic.
The checkpoint’s purpose is to conduct identity checks on individuals held in local hospitals. Traffic control measures are in place at the location to facilitate these checks. The extension of these powers is subject to ongoing review and remains temporary in nature.
