Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends federal immigration statutes to add procedural safeguards, probable-cause and documentation requirements, periodic custody reviews with a high burden on DHS, and narrow limits on warrantless arrests, all of which restrict the practical scope of immigration enforcement and detention. Terminology updates and conforming amendments produce no substantive policy change.
