What this bill would do

The "Protecting Sensitive Locations Act" seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to restrict immigration enforcement near specific sensitive sites. It prohibits enforcement actions within 1,000 feet of these locations unless exigent circumstances exist. The bill establishes strict protocols for officers, requiring them to act discreetly and consult supervisors when uncertainty arises regarding such circumstances. It also mandates annual training for officials and requires several layers of reporting to Congress and oversight offices. If enforcement is carried out in violation of these rules, the resulting information cannot be used in removal proceedings.
