## 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. - 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.

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…

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: benefit, medium. 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 DH…
