Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a fund to help small businesses that are disrupted or harmed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, such as raids or workplace investigations. The fund would provide financial assistance to affected small business owners to help them recover losses, pay legal fees, or continue operations during periods of disruption. This would primarily benefit small business owners whose operations are interrupted by federal immigration enforcement activities.
