Provides a civil remedy for individuals whose rights were violated by federal law enforcement officers during immigration-related enforcement actions.
The VOICE Act, or Victims of Immigration Conduct Enforcement Act, amends federal law to establish a civil remedy for individuals whose rights have been violated by federal law enforcement officers during immigration-related enforcement actions. The United States will be liable for monetary damages, including $2,000,000 in punitive damages, if found liable in such cases. The responsible federal agency will pay these damages. This act ensures that victims of unlawful actions by federal officers have a legal recourse to seek redress.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
