Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

Life & Work

ICE and CBP officers would face significant new requirements including judicial warrant mandates, reporting obligations, use-of-force restrictions, and transport standards. Officers found to have used excessive force would be permanently removed from detainee-facing duties. The bill also creates new documentation and accountability requirements that would change how enforcement agents carry out their daily work.
