Require DHS to provide standardized training for immigration-enforcement personnel on recognizing Tribal identification documents and properly interacting with Indigenous communities.

"This bill would require DHS to develop standardized training for all agents when interacting with Indigenous communities to end these dehumanizing and racist interactions."

Randall backed legislation that would require DHS to train immigration-enforcement personnel to recognize Tribal IDs and follow proper protocols with Indigenous communities.

The Respect Tribal IDs Act would require DHS, in coordination with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Tribal Nations, to develop standardized training for officers and employees involved in immigration enforcement. Officers would be required to complete the training annually and whenever they are reassigned to a new region.

Randall's sponsorship or cosponsorship of the Respect Tribal IDs Act repeats a commitment to require DHS immigration-enforcement personnel to receive standardized training on Tribal IDs and respectful interactions with Tribal communities.

The House record lists H.R. 8742 introduced by Rep. Sharice Davids for herself, Don Bacon, Teresa Leger Fernandez, Brad Schneider, Emily Randall, and Melanie Stansbury. It describes the bill as requiring DHS officers and employees to receive training with respect to tribes and refers it to the Judiciary Committee.

Within the lookback window, Randall was an original House cosponsor of a bill directly aimed at requiring DHS tribal-related training, but the record shows introduction and referral, not enactment.

The Respect Tribal IDs Act would require DHS, with BIA and Tribal Nations, to develop standardized training for immigration-enforcement officers on identifying Tribal documents, when Tribal IDs prove U.S. citizenship, proper protocols with enrolled Tribal members, and the federal trust responsibility. Officers would complete training annually and after regional reassignment.

The bill Randall cosponsored matches the campaign commitment closely, including standardized DHS training on Tribal IDs and interactions with Indigenous communities. It remains a legislative proposal rather than delivered policy.

Sen. Luján’s release says the Respect Tribal IDs Act was introduced to improve how DHS personnel recognize and interact with Tribal identification documents during immigration enforcement. It says the bill would require standardized training and region-specific guidance with examples of Tribal IDs used where agents operate.

A Senate-side official source confirms the same bill text and purpose, reinforcing that the current concrete progress is bill introduction, not completed DHS implementation.

Randall’s office said she questioned a local police chief about law-enforcement training compared with ICE training, and separately called attention to reports that ICE was detaining and targeting Tribal members, including people in her district and in Minnesota.

Before the May bill, Randall had already taken oversight and public-pressure action around ICE training and treatment of Tribal members, supporting an effort badge but not delivery of the standardized-training requirement.
