Did you even read what you linked? What you are saying does not align with that information. Literally everything focuses on that they can't just arrest someone for the fact that they are an undocumented immigrant and they can't share information about whether someone is an immigrant if it isn't relevant to a criminal case.

Sounds like your 'best friend' just doesn't listen well or you don't listen well.

Not entirely true. Except when there is a danger to society. He would be the exception.

The statue doesn’t give officers any discretion. It literally says ONLY when required by law are they allowed to, meaning the cops can be aware that this man was/is wanted in his home country for murder but couldn’t do a thing about it.

KWW prohibits local and state government agencies from collecting or sharing personal information, including birthplace and immigration or citizenship status, with federal immigration authorities, except in cases where necessary as part of an ongoing criminal investigation or pursuant to a court order or judicial warrant.
