Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act of 2025

This bill sets rules for how federal immigration officers may use non-deadly force, requiring them to try to de-escalate, to step in if another officer uses excessive force, and to give or request medical aid. It limits officers' use of masks and requires them to wear identification showing their agency, with exceptions approved in writing by a supervisor. It bars officers from using flash bangs, rubber bullets, pepper balls, and tear gas except at the border or in approved operations against public safety or national security threats. It directs the Department of Homeland Security to require body and dashboard cameras, keep footage for set periods, and let certain people view it. It also requires yearly training, notice to local police before operations, regular reports to Congress, and databases of use-of-force and misconduct reports.
