Where it stands

Sitting in House Committee

No vote scheduled. Constituent contact is what moves bills out of committee.

What this bill actually does

The bill covers immigration enforcement by DHS officers and agents, including ICE and CBP. It also covers other people who have been given immigration enforcement power.
Federal immigration officers usually could not act at a sensitive location or within 1,000 feet of one. They could do so only if the bill's defined emergency exception applies.
Officers would have to stop and check with a supervisor if they are not sure an emergency exception applies. That consultation must happen in real time.

↓ Why your message matters here
