Stop ICE from Kidnapping U.S. Citizens Act

Sponsored By: Representative Jayapal, Pramila [D-WA-7]

Introduced

Summary

Would block ICE from using federal funds to detain or transport U.S. citizens. The restriction would target civil immigration enforcement funded by the federal government and would take precedence over conflicting laws.

Show full summary
  • Families and U.S. citizens: U.S. citizens would be protected from being detained or transported outside the country by ICE when those specific actions are paid for with federal dollars.
  • ICE operations: The ban covers two explicit actions funded by federal money: detaining a U.S. citizen and transporting a U.S. citizen outside the United States during civil immigration enforcement.
  • Legal scope: The measure ties the restriction to the Immigration and Nationality Act definition of "immigration laws" and uses "notwithstanding any other provision of law" to establish precedence.
