Summary
The bill would create a federal cause of action allowing U.S. citizens who were arrested or detained without a warrant or probable cause by immigration or immigration-enforcing law enforcement officers on or after January 20, 2025, to sue the officer and the United States in federal district court. Successful plaintiffs would receive $500,000 plus $100,000 per day of detention, attorney's fees and costs, and any appropriate injunctive or declaratory relief; the bill also bars qualified and absolute immunity defenses, sets a five-year statute of limitations, and waives sovereign immunity for these claims. Section 4 permanently rescinds unobligated balances of certain immigration enforcement funds provided under a specified 2025 reconciliation act.
