HR 8862 United States House · 119th Congress

No Special Immunity for Violating Our State Laws Act of 2026

This bill removes federal immunity protections for federal immigration law enforcement officers who cause death or serious bodily injury while performing their duties. Under the new provision, these officers could be prosecuted under state laws if they commit such acts, allowing state courts to assert jurisdiction over the offenses. The legislation directly affects federal agents involved in immigration enforcement and state legal systems that might seek to try them for violent crimes. By amending Title 18 of the U.S. Code, the bill creates a specific legal pathway for states to pursue charges against federal officers in cases of severe harm.
