Respect Tribal IDs Act

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to create training, within 180 days, for its officers and employees on interacting with enrolled members of Indian tribes. The training would cover how to identify tribal documents, accepting tribal documents as proof of U.S. citizenship, and the federal government's trust responsibility to tribes. It would include regional tribal contact information, scenario exercises, a database of example tribal documents, and before-and-after assessments. Officers would have to complete the training every year and each time they move to a new region before doing immigration enforcement work. The Secretary would report to Congress on the training within one year.
