Summary
The bill bans immigration officers from acquiring, accessing, or using any real‑time or recorded facial‑recognition or similar biometric systems, and requires all data collected to be erased within 30 days. It also lets individuals and states sue the federal government if the ban is violated, and allows disciplinary action against offending officers. The goal is to curb invasive surveillance by immigration enforcement agencies.
