What this amendment would do

SA 5553, submitted by Mr. Padilla, is an amendment to SA 5453 regarding bill S. 2.

The purpose of this amendment is to stop the use of funds from this or any other Act for specific immigration enforcement actions.

It aims to add a prohibition against using funds to do the following to any veteran or spouse of an active duty member of the Armed Forces:

  • Place them in detention.
  • Remove them from the United States.
  • Refer them for a decision on whether to start removal proceedings.
  • Initiate removal proceedings against them.

These protections apply unless the veteran or spouse has been convicted of a violent crime.
