Ending Qualified Immunity for ICE Agents: Increased Accountability for Actions.

This bill aims to remove special legal protection for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. This means ICE agents will no longer be able to claim "good faith" or that the law was unclear to avoid accountability for their actions. In practice, this could make it easier for citizens to pursue legal claims if they believe their rights have been violated by ICE agents.
Key points
ICE agents will lose legal protection that made it difficult to sue them for rights violations.
They will not be able to claim good faith or unclear law to avoid accountability.
This could increase accountability for ICE agents and make it easier for citizens to seek justice.
