Hold ICE Accountable Act of 2026

This bill creates a special prosecutor to investigate alleged unlawful actions by Department of Homeland Security officials that occurred on or after January 20, 2025. The special prosecutor would be appointed by a three-judge panel from outside the federal government and would have full authority to investigate and prosecute federal crimes, including obstruction of justice and witness intimidation. The bill also establishes protections for the special prosecutor and their staff, limits the Attorney General's ability to remove them without cause, and allows individuals whose rights were allegedly violated to sue for damages without relying on qualified immunity defenses.
