What this bill would do

The "Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act of 2025" establishes new limitations on Federal immigration enforcement personnel. It sets strict requirements for the use of non-deadly force, including mandates for de-escalation and the minimization of risk to third parties. The bill restricts the use of certain equipment like rubber bullets and tear gas, except under specific circumstances. Additionally, it requires the implementation of body-worn and vehicle cameras for all enforcement operations. The Act also mandates annual training for personnel on topics including constitutional protections and the de-escalation of tensions. Finally, it establishes new reporting requirements for the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.
