AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to repay state and local first responder agencies for the cost of responding to requests for help with immigration enforcement made by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Federal officers would collect responders' names, badge numbers, and agency information when practical, and the agency would then be asked for a cost estimate and paid within 30 days. If that information is not collected, the local agency could submit its own reimbursement request with the date, location, and cost estimate, and must be paid within 30 days unless no response occurred. The Secretary could not release responders' personal information except under a court order, and payments would come from unspent ICE or CBP funds provided under Public Law 119-21.
