Key points
Bans 'per-person' bonuses or payments to private companies for locating individuals with immigration detainers.
Requires the termination or amendment of current contracts involving private surveillance and skip tracing.
Prohibits contractors from using personal data or social media to track individuals for immigration purposes.
Mandates a full audit of all Department of Homeland Security contracts to ensure compliance with the new rules.
