This bill seeks to prevent immigration officers from interfering with federal elections and to limit immigration enforcement activities near election dates. It amends title 18 of the U.S. Code to explicitly include immigration officers in prohibitions against using official authority to influence election outcomes or intimidate voters, mirroring existing restrictions on military personnel. A key provision establishes a 4-week moratorium on immigration enforcement and removal operations during the period immediately preceding a federal election. During this time, such operations would only be permitted if based on particularized criminal probable cause related to a specific individual or if deemed necessary to prevent imminent death or serious bodily injury.
