Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would bar the Secretary of Homeland Security from spending funds on ICE biometric or other surveillance systems, related contracts, or hiring more ICE officers and employees until a report is sent to Congress. The report must set out an ICE policy that prohibits using these systems to access or store information collected because a person was exercising a constitutional right, along with rules on access, storage, retention, notice to affected people, costs, and training. Information collected by immigration officers for these systems from January 1, 2026, to the date the bill becomes law would have to be deleted within 30 days unless the Secretary issues a rule setting that policy. The bill would also bar Homeland Security funds from being used to restrict people from recording immigration enforcement operations, as long as they do not interfere with or obstruct them.
