Provides a civil remedy for individuals whose rights are violated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection or U.S.

The ICE and CBP Constitutional Accountability Act amends the Federal Tort Claims Act to allow individuals to seek civil remedies for rights violations by U.S. Customs and Border Protection or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The bill waives sovereign immunity for these agencies, allowing lawsuits for violations such as racial profiling, unreasonable searches, and privacy infringements. The U.S. government would be liable for damages regardless of whether the violation was due to official policy.
