Prohibiting certain agents of the United States immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) from being employed as a law enforcement officer in Kansas.

HB 2686 bans Kansas state and local law enforcement agencies from hiring any former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who was employed by ICE on or after January 20, 2025. The bill specifically prohibits these individuals from becoming police officers or law enforcement officers as defined under Kansas law (K.S.A. 74-5602). It applies to all current and future employment decisions by Kansas law enforcement entities. The law would take effect upon publication in the state statute book, but it has only been introduced and referred to committee as of February 2026.
