Protecting Sensitive Locations Act limits immigration enforcement actions near sensitive locations and clarifies officer powers.
The Protecting Sensitive Locations Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to restrict immigration enforcement actions within 1,000 feet of sensitive locations, such as schools, healthcare facilities, and places of worship, unless exigent circumstances exist. Exigent circumstances include imminent threats to life, national security, or destruction of evidence. The Act mandates that officers conduct themselves discreetly and limit their time at sensitive locations. It also requires annual training for officers and annual reporting on enforcement actions to Congress.
