Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates trackable barcodes or recipient signatures for mailed immigration-status documents from DHS/USCIS to increase delivery accountability and verification. This is a procedural enhancement to immigration document handling that expands immigration-enforcement practices in a narrow sense but does not address state/local cooperation, sanctuary policies, state crimes, E-Verify, detention, or other listed subtopics.
