Bill Summary
A BILL To abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Abolish ICE Act," proposes to eliminate U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a federal agency established in 2003 responsible for enforcing immigration and customs laws. The bill's findings section outlines several criticisms of ICE, including arguments that its mission could be better handled by other agencies, that its enforcement practices prioritize aggressive action over due process, and it cites specific incidents involving alleged excessive force, wrongful deaths, and the detention of U.S. citizens. The core provision of the bill is to cease all federal funding for ICE's functions and responsibilities, rescind any available funds, and formally abolish the agency 90 days after the bill becomes law, with its assets and liabilities transferred to the Secretary of Homeland Security.
