Rep. Ramirez Introduces the Full-Body Restraint Prohibition Act
This bill is currently sitting in the House Committee on Homeland Security where it has been since February 24, 2026. No action has taken place on this proposal for four months. The bill is not moving forward at this time because the committee must review it before it can go any further.
Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
DHS employees — especially those in ICE, Border Patrol, and other enforcement roles — face new restrictions and mandatory termination consequences. If an employee uses a full-body restraint or deceives Congress or leadership about the ban, they must be removed from federal service with no discretion for lesser discipline. This creates significant career risk for officers who may have previously used these devices as part of standard procedures.
“the Secretary, through the employee discipline and adverse action programs referred to in section 704(b)(10), shall remove such officer or employee, as the case may be, from Federal service.”
Referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security.
