Bill overview
The Hold ICE Accountable Act of 2026 aims to establish an independent special prosecutor to investigate potential unlawful actions by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials since January 20, 2025. The process for appointing this prosecutor involves a panel of judges, a rigorous background check, and a focus on selecting qualified, impartial legal professionals. This special prosecutor would have broad investigative and prosecutorial powers, similar to a U.S. Attorney, and operate independently of the Department of Justice, with oversight from Congress and a reporting requirement to the public and Congress. Individuals harmed by the special prosecutor’s actions could also pursue civil lawsuits for damages.
