Bill > S2386

This bill, called the "Preventing Authoritarian Policing Tactics on America's Streets Act," aims to establish strict guidelines for the use of federal law enforcement officers during crowd control situations. The bill defines federal law enforcement officers as employees or contractors from executive, legislative, or judicial branches who are authorized to perform law enforcement functions. It mandates that these officers must display clearly visible identification, including their agency and last name or unique identifier, and prohibits them from covering up this information or using unmarked vehicles during crowd control activities. The bill limits federal law enforcement's crowd control authority primarily to federal property and its immediate vicinity, with exceptions for situations where state and local governments jointly request assistance or when the Insurrection Act is invoked. Federal officers are prohibited from arresting individuals if they are not complying with the identification and jurisdiction requirements. Additionally, the bill requires federal agencies to publish detailed public notices within 24 hours of deploying law enforcement personnel, including information about the deployment date, number of personnel, mission description, locations of detained civilians, and any written requests for assistance. The goal is to increase transparency and accountability in federal law enforcement actions during public demonstrations and protests.
