Rights Violation in Immigration Enforcement Remedy

Summary

The bill adds a new civil cause of action so people whose constitutional rights are violated while federal immigration officials are conducting civil enforcement can sue in state court. It requires courts to award attorney fees to prevailing plaintiffs, eliminates most immunity defenses for defendants, and sets a two‑year filing deadline. The measure also earmarks $125,604 for the Department of Law to support related legal services, but it was vetoed by the governor.
