- Hotline to report fake ICE officers: benefit, medium. If enacted, DHS would run a public awareness campaign about ICE impersonation. DHS would also set up a national hotline and an online portal so people can report impersonation and get help. These reporting tools would start after enactment.
- DHS rules due in 180 days: benefit, low. If enacted, DHS would have 180 days to issue rules to carry out this bill. The bill would define “ICE” as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It would also define who counts as an “official” by referring to federal law. These definitions would guide how the bans and penalties are applied.
