Bill information
Summary
To establish a private right of action for citizens of the United States who are arrested or detained by immigration officers or law enforcement officers enforcing the immigration laws without a warrant or probable cause, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would let U.S. citizens sue immigration officers or other law enforcement if arrested or held without a warrant or probable cause. A private right of action means individuals could bring lawsuits directly in court rather than relying on government agencies to act. The bill targets situations where immigration enforcement happens without legal justification. It was recently introduced in Congress and is in the early stage of review.
