Summary
The bill adds a new section to Rhode Island’s Law Enforcement Due Process, Accountability, and Transparency Act that bars state and local law‑enforcement agencies from employing anyone who became a sworn ICE officer on or after January 20, 2025. The restriction applies only to hires made after the law takes effect on October 1, 2026 and does not affect officers hired before that date.
