What this amendment would do

SA 5667, submitted by Mr. Blumenthal, aims to add a section to bill S. 2 to create a DHS Abuses Compensation Fund.

The purpose of this amendment is to transfer $1,800,000,000 to the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide compensation to individuals who, after January 20, 2025, experienced the following:

Injury by a covered officer, such as death, gunshot injury, loss of vision, or permanent disfigurement.
Entry into their property by a covered officer without a judicial warrant.
Detention by a covered officer in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Under this amendment, a covered officer is a law enforcement officer employed by the Department of Homeland Security or one deputized with immigration enforcement power under section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. An individual eligible for these funds is defined as a United States citizen or an heir to or beneficiary of the estate of a United States citizen.
