Plain-English Summary
The bill would stop U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from hiring any new employees, effectively freezing the agency's workforce at current levels. This would affect ICE's ability to conduct immigration enforcement operations, investigate immigration-related crimes, and manage detention facilities across the country. The measure has been sent to the House Committee on Homeland Security for review.
