Protecting Sensitive Locations Act
Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) sponsored this bill to prohibit immigration enforcement actions within 1,000 feet of sensitive locations—including schools, hospitals, places of worship, courthouses, child care facilities, and public assistance offices—except when there is imminent risk of death, violence, or physical harm. The ban applies to federal Department of Homeland Security officers and state employees conducting immigration enforcement. If enforcement occurs in violation of this prohibition, any information gathered cannot be used in removal proceedings, and the affected individual can move to immediately terminate such proceedings. Immigration agencies must report annually to Congress on enforcement actions taken at sensitive locations.
