Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the ICE and CBP Tracker Act.

Section 5. Legislative intent. The General Assembly makes the following findings:

(1) Federal law enforcement officers are using tear gas and firing projectiles against peaceful protesters, legal observers, volunteer street medics, and journalists outside U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities in Illinois in excess of the force necessary to control a crowd or for agents to fulfill their duties.

(2) All law enforcement officers have a duty to uphold the United States Constitution and Illinois Constitution and protect the due process rights of Illinois citizens.
