Life & Work

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.
