What it does
The bill would impose a hiring freeze on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), prohibiting the use of federal funds to appoint new personnel or detail or transfer federal employees to ICE positions. This restriction would apply to all federal funding and remain in effect until Congress passes a subsequent law specifically overriding or modifying the freeze. The measure affects ICE’s ability to hire or reassign staff and is intended to limit the agency’s workforce growth.
