Sec. 1.

Whenever any alien is committed to or becomes an inmate of any state, county, or private institution, or a home for children, it shall be the duty of the manager, superintendent, warden, or other person in charge of the institution or home to forthwith report to the department of corrections that the alien is an inmate of that institution or home. The department of corrections shall keep on file a correct list of all such persons reported and to immediately report that fact to the nearest office of the United States immigration service. Upon the issuance of an order of deportation by the proper federal authority, and upon the release of the alien from the institution or home, the manager, superintendent, warden, or other person in charge of the institution or home shall deliver the alien into the custody of the United States officer holding the warrant of deportation.
