Introduced
Summary
Prohibits DHS immigration enforcement at child care facilities. This bill would bar any Department of Homeland Security agent or person acting under their authority from carrying out immigration enforcement actions on the premises of a child care facility. The text offers no definitions for key terms like "immigration enforcement action" or "child care facility" and it includes no exemptions, penalties, or compliance procedures, which could leave the scope and enforcement of the ban uncertain.

Block federal immigration enforcement at child care
This bill would bar any agent, officer, or employee of the Department of Homeland Security, and anyone acting under their authority, from carrying out immigration enforcement actions at a child care facility. The text does not define "immigration enforcement action." It also does not list exceptions for emergencies, and it contains no penalties or enforcement mechanism. Parents, caregivers, and child care centers would be the main groups to gain more protection from on-site immigration enforcement if the bill were enacted.
