Limits ICE surveillance and hiring funds until a report is filed, and protects the right to record operations.
This bill would temporarily stop U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from spending money on certain surveillance systems, related contracts, and new hires. This pause would last until ICE provides Congress with a detailed report about how it uses its databases. It would also protect people's ability to record immigration operations as long as they don't get in the way.
Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can spend money on surveillance systems and new hires without first giving Congress a detailed report on how it uses its databases. After this bill, ICE would be blocked from spending on these items and hiring until that report is submitted, and certain previously collected data would be deleted. Also, funds could not be used to stop people from recording immigration operations if they are not interfering.
