What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Stop ICE Election Militarization Act," aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code. It seeks to prohibit certain activities by immigration officers in connection with elections. The legislation adds immigration officers to existing prohibitions regarding interference during elections. Additionally, it places restrictions on immigration enforcement and removal operations during the four weeks leading up to a Federal election. These operations would be limited to specific circumstances involving criminal probable cause or imminent danger.
