Referred to the Committee on Homeland Security, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 815 is a resolution expressing the House's position that immigration enforcement operations conducted by ICE and CBP must be transparent, accountable, and respectful of constitutional protections. The resolution responds to reported incidents in 2025 involving unmarked vehicles, plainclothes agents, facial coverings, and cases where U.S. citizens were detained or separated from their families during enforcement actions. It supports six key reforms: requiring body cameras for ICE and CBP personnel, prohibiting agents from concealing their identities except in safety emergencies, mandating visible name and badge displays, establishing independent civilian oversight boards, implementing mandatory de-escalation training, and transferring ICE oversight to the Justice Department for enhanced civil rights monitoring. The resolution does not allocate new funding or establish binding requirements but endorses several existing legislative proposals aimed at strengthening accountability and protecting civil liberties during immigration enforcement. This resolution is symbolic rather than law-making, signaling the House's policy preferences to the executive branch and supporting companion legislation already introduced in Congress.
