Respect Tribal IDs Act of 2026

The Respect Tribal IDs Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security to create and enforce mandatory training for all immigration officers on how to properly interact with enrolled members of Indian tribes and recognize tribal documents as proof of U.S. citizenship. This training must include specific regional information, scenario-based exercises, and annual refreshers, with officers prohibited from performing immigration enforcement duties until they have completed the curriculum. The bill also mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security submit a report on the implementation of these training standards to various congressional committees within one year of enactment.
