The proposal would ban the Department of Homeland Security from using federal money to conduct profiling based on characteristics like race, religion, ethnicity, or national origin when enforcing immigration and security laws. This would affect how DHS agents conduct investigations, searches, and enforcement actions, requiring them to base decisions on individual behavior and evidence rather than demographic characteristics. The measure is currently under review by congressional committees to determine its final form.
