What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "No PREJUDICE Act," aims to prevent the Department of Homeland Security from using federal funds for discriminatory profiling. It prohibits officers and employees from seizing, detaining, or arresting individuals based on specific characteristics or circumstances. These prohibited bases include race, religion, gender identity, and the use of certain languages or accents. Additionally, it restricts actions based on an individual's presence at specific job-related locations or participation in certain activities. The bill also establishes a process for aliens in removal proceedings to request a hearing in district court to challenge potential violations.
