Protecting Sensitive Locations Act

Sponsored By: Representative Espaillat, Adriano [D-NY-13]

Introduced

Summary

Protects sensitive locations from immigration enforcement. This bill would bar immigration officers from conducting actions at, focused on, or within 1,000 feet of places like schools, hospitals, places of worship, polling sites, and disaster-relief centers except in narrow exigent circumstances.

Show full summary
  • Families and children: Would limit enforcement near public and private schools, school buses and stops when children are present, child care and children's recreational facilities, reducing immigration actions in places where kids are likely to be.
  • Patients, health workers, and disaster survivors: Would keep actions away from hospitals, clinics, vaccination and testing sites, urgent care and community health centers, and disaster response or family reunification sites to protect access to care and relief.
  • Immigration agencies and oversight: Would require annual training for specified Department of Homeland Security officials, mandate reports to the DHS Office of Inspector General and the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties within 30 days after any sensitive-location action, and bar evidence from actions that violate the rule from removal proceedings.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Limits on enforcement near schools and hospitals

This bill would sharply limit immigration enforcement at or within 1,000 feet of sensitive places. These include schools and bus stops when kids are present, hospitals and clinics, places of worship, shelters and food banks, polling places, libraries, and more. Officers could act there only during a clear emergency, with two narrow exceptions: taking someone found at or near a border to a hospital, and rare preplanned arrests of terrorism or extreme public‑safety threats with written approval. If officers do act, they would have to be discreet, spend as little time as possible, and only target the approved person; if the emergency ends or is unclear, they must stop and check with a supervisor first. DHS would define who counts as a supervisor and authorizing officials within 90 days, and these rules would start 90 days after enactment.

Illegal evidence tossed in deportation cases

If officers violate these sensitive‑location rules, information from that action would not be allowed in the removal (deportation) case. The targeted person could ask to end the removal case right away. These protections would start 90 days after enactment.

More oversight and training for DHS

DHS would have to file a report within 30 days after any enforcement at a sensitive place. The report would list the date, site, officers, why the action happened, who was targeted, arrests made, and whether a supervisor was contacted. ICE and CBP would send yearly summaries to Congress, and the DHS Inspector General would report on complaints; Congress could request copies of the 30‑day reports. DHS leaders would also ensure yearly staff training on these rules and related 1996 protections. The reporting and training would start 90 days after enactment.
