Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This Senate resolution states, in non-binding terms, that immigration officers under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are not authorized to arrest, detain, interrogate, or deport United States citizens during civil immigration enforcement. It notes constitutional protections (especially Fourth and Fifth Amendments) and cites ICE internal guidance (Policy Number 10074.2) which says immigrants enforcement authorities cannot arrest or detain U.S. citizens. The bill highlights past reports of wrongful actions against U.S. citizens and asserts that such conduct violates constitutional rights and erodes the rule of law. The resolution calls on DHS and related immigration agencies to implement stronger measures to prevent future wrongful enforcement actions against U.S. citizens. It does not create new law or funding; rather, it expresses the sense of the Senate and urges policy changes.
