Bill overview
This bill updates the Department of Homeland Security’s approach to civil rights and civil liberties. It establishes a dedicated Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL) with expanded responsibilities, including integrating these protections into all DHS programs, conducting impact assessments, and investigating potential abuses. The bill also requires DHS components to designate their own civil rights officers and mandates increased transparency through public reporting of investigations and assessments.
