Limiting Immigration Enforcement Actions at Sensitive Locations

This new act aims to restrict immigration enforcement actions in designated sensitive locations like schools, hospitals, and churches. It seeks to ensure citizens can access these places freely without fear of arrest, unless in urgent circumstances. The act also introduces new reporting and oversight rules for such actions.
Key points
Prohibition of immigration enforcement actions within 1,000 feet of sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, places of worship, courthouses, and public offices, except in urgent and justified situations.
Requirement for officers to consult with a supervisor in real-time if uncertain about urgent circumstances justifying action in a sensitive location.
Mandate for discreet and time-limited operations in sensitive locations, focusing only on individuals for whom prior approval was obtained.
Information obtained from actions violating these rules cannot be used in removal proceedings, and the affected individual may request immediate termination of such proceedings.
Introduction of mandatory annual training for officers and detailed reporting on all enforcement actions at sensitive locations, accessible to Congress.
