I would favor leaving conviction in as a trigger for ICE notice, but talk about the range of crimes triggering. In CA, where I live ("sanctuary"), it's "Violent and Serious Crimes." I'm not sure what the bill as written includes, but I would agree to conviction of any felony.

No requirement for a state or local government to cooperate with ICE, ever. That would be unconstitutional.
I don't understand why the nativist bigots want to deport people convicted of crimes. In most cases such persons go free on arrival in their home country. Not a bad deal. Maybe deport persons convicted of serious crimes after they serve their sentences, but why give them a get out of jail free card.

Being convicted of a felony gets you deported if you are not a US citizen -- under current law.
I think the disconnect might be that in CA, where I live, there is a subset of felonies that trigger notice to ICE.

It includes some misdemeanors, as well.
