Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Homeland Security, 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.
The TRUST Act establishes new requirements for Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement personnel working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and other DHS enforcement agencies. The legislation requires officers to carry serially numbered badges displaying the DHS seal and their directorate, wear visible identification while on duty, and makes it a federal crime for anyone to fraudulently wear or duplicate DHS badges while impersonating a federal immigration officer. Additionally, the bill mandates that all immigration enforcement officers undergo specialized training in six critical areas: procedures to prevent wrongful detention of U.S. citizens and lawful residents, deescalation and safe civilian engagement, language access for individuals with limited English proficiency, recognition of medical distress and disability accommodations, constitutional protections and civil rights laws, and prevention of discriminatory enforcement practices. These requirements aim to ensure accountability and proper conduct among immigration enforcement personnel while protecting the rights of citizens and residents.
