TRUST Act

The TRUST Act establishes new hiring standards and operational rules for U.S. immigration enforcement officers to improve professionalism and transparency. It raises the minimum age requirement to 21, mandates comprehensive background checks including social media reviews, and requires specialized training on de-escalation, civil rights, and preventing discrimination. The legislation also mandates that officers wear uniforms and badges only while on duty, carry official identification, and use body-worn cameras during public interactions, with strict penalties for failing to record or tampering with footage. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to release unedited video recordings of incidents involving misconduct or serious injury to the public within a specified timeframe.
