Mr. Peters submitted this amendment, known as SA 2656, to be proposed to another amendment on the bill H.R. 1. If we want to hold our officials accountable, we need to know what they are trying to change in our laws.

What the Amendment Changes

This amendment adds specific rules about how certain appropriated funds can be used for immigration enforcement purposes across multiple sections of the text. Here is what it aims to add:

  • Identification and Warrants: It stops the use of these funds for immigration enforcement unless all sworn law enforcement officers clearly identify themselves as law enforcement and provide a warrant when required.

  • Undercover Exception: It creates an exception to the identification rule for officers who are conducting undercover activities in the regular performance of their duties.
