Establishes a commission to oversee immigration enforcement agencies and ensure compliance with civil rights and liberties requirements.
The ICE Accountability Act establishes an independent Commission for Independent Monitoring of Immigration Enforcement within the legislative branch. The commission's duties include monitoring immigration agencies during enforcement activities, reviewing related information, and issuing monthly reports to Congress. It can subpoena records, bring civil actions against noncompliant agencies, and recommend reforms. The commission terminates after four years if three of four monitors determine agencies have been in compliance for a year.
