Reimburse local responders for ICE requests

This bill would let State and local first responder agencies get reimbursed for costs after ICE or CBP requests. DHS would try to collect each responder's name, badge number, agency, and contact information. If DHS collects that information, it would ask the agency head for a detailed cost estimate within 30 days. DHS would pay the agency within 30 days after receiving the estimate. If DHS does not collect the information, an agency head could submit a reimbursement request. The request would need the date, location, who responded, duration, and pay rates. The Secretary would have 30 days to reimburse unless the Secretary finds no response occurred. Payments would come from unobligated ICE or CBP funds provided under Public Law 119-21. Those funds would remain available until January 20, 2029. DHS would not be allowed to release responders' personally identifiable information except by court order.
