Bill Summary

A resolution reaffirming that immigration officers under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security are not authorized to arrest, detain, interrogate, or deport United States citizens and must implement stronger measures to prevent future wrongful enforcement actions against such citizens.

AI Summary

This resolution reaffirms the legal principle that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immigration officers are strictly prohibited from arresting, detaining, interrogating, or deporting United States citizens during civil immigration enforcement activities. The resolution emphasizes that such actions are unconstitutional, specifically violating the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches and seizures and the Fifth Amendment's guarantees of individual rights. Drawing from ICE's own internal policy guidance (Policy Number 10074.2), the resolution highlights recent concerning reports of citizens—including children, veterans, and disabled individuals—being illegally detained based on factors like occupation, physical appearance, or refusal to engage with officers. By calling for stronger preventative measures, the resolution seeks to protect citizens' constitutional rights, maintain the rule of law, ensure law enforcement officer safety, and preserve public trust in governmental institutions. The underlying premise is rooted in the foundational American principle that all individuals possess inherent natural rights that must be protected by the government.
