This legislation aims to significantly restrict the use of biometric surveillance by federal immigration enforcement agencies. Specifically, it makes it unlawful for any officer or contractor of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to acquire, possess, access, or use biometric surveillance systems or information derived from such systems within the United States. Biometric surveillance systems are broadly defined to include facial recognition, voice recognition, and other methods of identifying individuals or inferring characteristics from a distance. The bill further mandates that all biometric data collected by these agencies, including data gathered before the act's enactment, must be deleted within 30 days. To ensure compliance, information obtained in violation of this act is inadmissible in federal proceedings, and individuals aggrieved by violations can pursue civil actions against the Federal Government for damages and injunctive relief. Additionally, State Attorneys General are empowered to enforce the act, and individual officers found in violation may face retraining, suspension, or termination.
