Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects

Limits on immigration enforcement
If enacted, the bill would bar immigration enforcement in "protected areas" such as schools, hospitals and medical facilities, mental health facilities, places of worship or study, and polling places except for narrow urgent exceptions like imminent danger, national security threats, destruction of evidence, or pursuit in the officer's presence. The bill would also prohibit deporting U.S. nationals and require officers to verify citizenship before arrest.
Officer cameras, ID, and local notice
If enacted, DHS would require body-worn cameras for all immigration officers and dashboard cameras in enforcement vehicles. Officers would have the right to review footage. Officers would have to wear clear agency identification, with limited safety exceptions and no uniform that says only "police." DHS would also have to notify local police at least one day before planned federal immigration operations and try to coordinate with them.
New training for immigration officers
This bill would require the DHS Secretary to report training standards to two congressional committees within 180 days. It would require each immigration officer to complete training at least once a year. Training would include web, classroom, and tactical instruction on use-of-force updates, de-escalation, First Amendment rights, and Fourth Amendment searches.
