Stop ICE Election Militarization Act

The Stop ICE Election Militarization Act would amend federal law to prohibit immigration officers from interfering with elections and restrict immigration enforcement activities in the four weeks before federal elections. It would apply to immigration officers as defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act, treating them similarly to members of the Armed Forces under existing election interference prohibitions. During the pre-election period, immigration enforcement or removal operations would only be permitted if based on individualized criminal probable cause or necessary to prevent imminent death or serious bodily injury. The bill was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
