The ICE Standards Act requires the Department of Homeland Security to implement significant reforms to how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operates. The bill mandates that immigration officers complete annual training on use of force, de-escalation techniques, and constitutional rights protections, and that all officers wear body cameras and dashboard cameras in vehicles. The legislation also requires officers to display clear identification (with agency name), restricts immigration enforcement in sensitive locations like schools, hospitals, and places of worship except in emergencies, and requires officers to verify citizenship before arrest to prevent deporting U.S. citizens. Additionally, the bill requires ICE to notify local law enforcement at least one day before conducting immigration enforcement operations. The Secretary of Homeland Security must submit a report on current training standards within 180 days of the bill's enactment and implement these reforms accordingly.
