Bill > S455

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish strict limitations on immigration enforcement actions at "sensitive locations," which are comprehensively defined to include places like schools, healthcare facilities, places of worship, courthouses, social service offices, and public demonstrations. Under the proposed legislation, immigration enforcement officers are prohibited from conducting enforcement actions within 1,000 feet of these sensitive locations, except under very specific "exigent circumstances" such as imminent risk of death, violence, terrorism, or destruction of critical evidence. When enforcement actions are deemed necessary, officers must be extremely discreet, limit their time at the location, and focus only on pre-approved targets. The bill requires detailed reporting on any enforcement actions near sensitive locations, including reports to Congress and the Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General, and mandates annual training for enforcement officials on these new regulations. If an enforcement action violates these provisions, any evidence gathered would be inadmissible in removal proceedings, and the subject of the proceeding may request immediate termination. The new rules would take effect 90 days after the bill's enactment, with the Secretary of Homeland Security required to develop specific implementation regulations within that timeframe.
