Disaster Data Protection Act

Sponsored By: Representative Pettersen, Brittany [D-CO-7]

Introduced

Summary

Restricts ICE from accessing disaster-response personal data held by non-government groups without a court warrant. The bill would bar use of federal funds for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to obtain personally identifiable information that nongovernmental organizations collect during a natural disaster, but it allows NGOs to disclose that information if ICE presents a judicial warrant.

Show full summary
  • Families and disaster survivors: Personal details like names, addresses, Social Security numbers, photos, and medical or employment histories collected by aid groups would be shielded from ICE unless a judge approves access.
  • Nongovernmental organizations and aid groups: They would be prohibited from providing disaster-collected PII to ICE absent a warrant, clarifying what counts as PII and which events qualify as natural disasters.
  • Federal enforcement agencies: ICE could still obtain NGO-held PII, but only through a court-issued warrant; the bill bars broader, fund-supported data acquisition by ICE.
