Federal Agency Restructuring: Separating Criminal Investigations from Immigration Enforcement.

This Act splits the federal ICE agency into two distinct entities: one focused on serious criminal investigations (HSI) and another dedicated solely to immigration compliance enforcement. This change aims to increase clarity and efficiency, and requires the development of new, public guidelines regarding the use of surveillance technology in investigations. For citizens, this means a clearer division of responsibilities within federal security services.
Key points
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is separated from ICE and established as an independent agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The remaining part of ICE is renamed U.S. Immigration Compliance Enforcement.
New, publicly available guidelines for HSI investigations, including policies on the use of surveillance technologies, must be developed.
