NOEM Act

HR 6493, the NOEM Act, amends Section 1983 of federal law to explicitly allow civil lawsuits against individuals acting under federal immigration enforcement authority. The bill adds "or of any Federal immigration enforcement authority" to the existing language, expanding the scope of Section 1983 to include federal immigration officers. This change directly affects federal immigration enforcement personnel by enabling individuals to sue them under this civil rights provision for misconduct. The bill focuses solely on clarifying the legal pathway for such lawsuits, with no additional provisions or mechanisms described in the provided text.
