TRUST Act

The TRUST Act establishes new hiring standards for immigration enforcement officers, requiring applicants to be at least 20 years old, possess a high school diploma, and undergo rigorous background checks covering criminal history, domestic violence, and social media activity. It mandates that these officers wear specific uniforms, display visible identification badges during public interactions, and carry official ID cards while on duty. The bill also requires all officers interacting with the public to use body-worn cameras, with strict rules on when footage must be activated, retained, and released to the public in cases of misconduct or serious injury. Additionally, the legislation mandates specialized training focused on preventing wrongful detentions, de-escalation techniques, language access, and recognizing medical or mental health emergencies.
