Limiting Immigration Enforcement at Sensitive Locations
This new law aims to restrict immigration enforcement actions in places like hospitals, schools, and churches. This means citizens can feel safer using these locations without fear of sudden arrests or interrogations. The act seeks to ensure free access to essential services and public places for everyone, regardless of immigration status.
Key points
Prohibits immigration enforcement within 1,000 feet of sensitive locations, unless there is an imminent risk to life or safety.
Sensitive locations include hospitals, schools, churches, disaster relief sites, courthouses, public assistance offices, and more.
Requires supervisor approval for actions in sensitive locations and mandates discreet conduct by officers.
Information obtained in violation of these rules cannot be used in deportation proceedings, and affected individuals can request immediate termination of proceedings.
