Plain-English Summary

This bill would restrict Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from conducting immigration enforcement operations near polling places, during voting periods, or in ways that could interfere with people's ability to vote. The measure aims to protect voters—particularly immigrants and communities with large immigrant populations—from intimidation or disruption while exercising their right to vote. It reflects concerns that aggressive immigration enforcement activities could discourage eligible voters from going to the polls.
