Summary
The bill restricts federal law‑enforcement officers, including immigration officers, to using deadly force only when they reasonably believe it is needed to stop an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to themselves or others. It requires a verbal warning when practicable, bans warning shots except in federal prisons, and mandates training on these limits. The aim is to create uniform, stricter standards for lethal force across federal agencies.
