Federal officers would lose immunity for causing death or serious injury during immigration enforcement.
This bill would end a special protection for federal law enforcement officers. If these officers cause death or serious injury while enforcing immigration laws, they would no longer be immune from being charged under state laws. This means state courts could prosecute them for these specific actions.
Currently, federal law enforcement officers often have special protection from state prosecution. This applies even if their on-duty actions cause death or serious injury. If this bill becomes law, federal officers would lose that immunity. This applies specifically when they cause death or serious bodily injury while enforcing immigration laws, allowing state courts to prosecute them.
