Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit certain activities of immigration officers in connection with elections, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Stop ICE Election Militarization Act," aims to prevent immigration officers from interfering with elections by amending existing federal law. Specifically, it proposes to add "immigration officer" to the list of individuals prohibited from engaging in certain activities related to elections, similar to how it already applies to members of the Armed Forces. An immigration officer is defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act as someone authorized to enforce immigration laws. Furthermore, the bill establishes a restriction on immigration enforcement and removal operations in the four weeks leading up to a federal election, allowing such actions only if they are based on specific criminal probable cause related to an individual or are necessary to prevent imminent death or serious bodily injury.
