S 4516

This bill, the Respect Tribal IDs Act of 2026, requires the Department of Homeland Security to develop and implement training for its immigration enforcement officers and employees. The training will focus on understanding and appropriately interacting with Native American tribes, recognizing and accepting Native American tribal documents as proof of citizenship, and fulfilling the U.S. government’s trust responsibility to tribal nations. It mandates regular retraining and reporting on the training’s effectiveness.
