Resolution to End ICE Abuse: Defunding, Accountability, and Agency Replacement.
This Congressional resolution proposes fundamental structural changes to federal immigration enforcement following reports of misconduct, including the deaths of US citizens and detainees. If enacted, it would repeal $75 billion in ICE funding, end qualified immunity for agents, and seek to replace ICE with a new, civilian-oversight agency within the Department of Justice. These measures aim to enhance constitutional protections for citizens and ensure greater accountability for unlawful use of force.
Key points
Ending Qualified Immunity: ICE agents would lose legal protection (qualified immunity), making it easier to hold them civilly accountable for misconduct and unlawful actions.
Defunding and Replacement: Proposes repealing $75 billion in funding and replacing ICE with a new agency under the Department of Justice, subject to robust civilian oversight.
Increased Transparency: Mandates the use of active body cameras, prohibits racial profiling, and establishes clear, uniform national standards for the use of force.
