This bill establishes new rules for how federal immigration enforcement officers can use force and conduct operations. It requires officers to use de-escalation tactics before resorting to force, limits their ability to wear masks or hide their identity without supervisor approval, and bans certain equipment like tear gas and rubber bullets except in specific circumstances involving national security threats or arrests at borders. The bill mandates that all immigration enforcement personnel wear body cameras and vehicle dash cameras by 180 days after enactment, with footage retained for at least one year (or three years if force was used). Federal agents must also receive annual training on constitutional protections, proper use of force, and the duty to intervene if they witness colleagues using excessive force. Additionally, the bill requires immigration enforcement to notify local police before operations and creates reporting requirements for Congress on force incidents, assaults against agents, and false impersonations. The bill affects Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal immigration agencies, along with individuals subject to immigration enforcement operations.
