Key points
Freezes money for biometric tracking and new ICE staff until a transparency report is filed.
Prohibits using surveillance systems to monitor people for exercising First Amendment rights or other constitutional privileges.
Requires ICE to delete certain data collected without proper privacy policies in place.
Explicitly allows individuals to record and document immigration enforcement actions as long as they do not interfere.
Mandates training for officers on local privacy laws and restrictions on facial recognition software.
