Protecting Sensitive Locations Act

What this bill does

  • Prohibits immigration enforcement actions within 1,000 feet of sensitive locations unless there is imminent risk of death or serious harm.
  • Applies to federal immigration officers and state employees conducting immigration enforcement operations near schools, hospitals, churches, courthouses, and other protected facilities.
  • Evidence from violations is excluded from removal proceedings; Congress receives annual reports on enforcement actions at sensitive locations.

    How would the 1,000-foot buffer around sensitive locations affect immigration enforcement operations in densely populated urban areas where these facilities are widespread?

  2. 02

    What evidence supports the claim that immigration enforcement at sensitive locations creates measurable harm to access to schools, hospitals, churches, and courts?

  3. 03

    How should immigration officers balance the restriction on enforcement actions near sensitive locations with cases involving imminent risk of death or serious harm?
