FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) Since its establishment in 2003, legal experts have argued that the mission of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could be better executed by other Federal agencies and that the design of ICE prioritizes aggressive enforcement rather than compliance with due process rights. (2) One of President Trump's first Executive Orders, titled ``Protecting the American People Against Invasion'', unleashed ICE to carry out mass arrests and deportations of noncriminal immigrants in the United States, with approximately 70 percent of arrests made by immigration agents in 2025 being detainees who had no criminal record. (3) On July 10, 2025, ICE carried out an immigration raid on 2 cannabis farms in Camarillo, California, that led to the arrest of 360 individuals and the death of 1 worker. (4) On September 12, 2025, ICE agents shot and killed Silverio Villegas Gonzalez after they attempted to detain him during a traffic stop. Prior to being
