This bill aims to provide a civil remedy for individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by officers or agents of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It addresses concerns that these agencies have undermined fundamental rights, including due process, privacy, and protection against unreasonable searches, leading to injuries, deaths, and public distrust. The legislation asserts that civil suits are necessary to provide redress when government officials violate fundamental rights. The bill amends the Federal Tort Claims Act to establish direct liability for the U.S. Government in such cases, even if the officer's actions were not consistent with an official policy or custom of the Department of Homeland Security. Significantly, it allows plaintiffs to seek and be awarded punitive damages , a departure from standard federal tort claims. Furthermore, the legislation constitutes a waiver of sovereign immunity for the United States with respect to these specific claims against CBP and ICE. It also removes the requirement for individuals to file an administrative claim before pursuing a civil action.
