AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would make it illegal for immigration officers, including ICE and Customs and Border Protection staff and contractors and local officers deputized for immigration enforcement, to acquire, possess, access, or use facial recognition or other biometric surveillance systems in the United States, or information from such systems run by others. All biometric surveillance information these officers have collected, including before the law takes effect, would have to be deleted within 30 days. Information obtained in violation of the law could not be used by the federal government in most legal proceedings. People harmed by a violation could sue the federal government for damages, state attorneys general could sue to enforce the law, and officers who violate it could face penalties such as retraining, suspension, or firing.
