2025-02-27: Referred to the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates oversight bodies, complaint mechanisms, training on rights and limits on enforcement/cooperation, and facility inspections focused on civil rights, migrant safety, and community engagement in border security and immigration activities. All provisions substantively address immigration-enforcement by restricting its scope or adding barriers; no provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
Referred to the Committee on Homeland Security, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, and the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
