Immigration and Nationality Act

The primary federal law governing immigration to the United States, including rules for who can enter, stay, and become a U.S. citizen, as well as enforcement actions.

Immigration Enforcement Actions

Activities carried out by immigration officers, such as arrests, questioning, or surveillance, to identify, apprehend, and deport individuals who violate immigration laws.

Sensitive Locations

Places where individuals should be able to access services without fear of immigration enforcement, such as schools, hospitals, medical and mental health clinics, places of worship, and courthouses. This bill restricts enforcement at these places.

Removal Proceeding

A legal process in immigration court to determine if an individual who is not a U.S. citizen should be deported from the United States, also known as a deportation proceeding.

Collateral Arrest

The arrest of an individual who was not the intended target of an immigration enforcement action but was encountered during the course of that action.
