Protecting Sensitive Locations: New Rules for Immigration Enforcement
This bill limits immigration enforcement actions like arrests and searches in places such as hospitals, schools, churches, and courthouses. Such actions would only be allowed in emergencies with special permission, aiming to ensure people can safely access these important locations.
Key points
Immigration enforcement (arrests, searches) is generally prohibited at or within 1,000 feet of sensitive locations like hospitals, schools, churches, and courthouses.
Exceptions are only permitted in urgent situations involving danger and require prior written approval from a supervisor.
Evidence gathered in violation of these rules cannot be used in deportation proceedings.
Immigration agencies must train staff on these rules and report annually on actions taken near sensitive locations.
