Facilitate state prosecution of criminal actions by immigration agents.
Occurrences
Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon ... today introduced the No Special Immunity for Violating Our State Laws Act, legislation to ensure that states don’t have to fight through legal roadblocks to prosecute appalling criminal actions by ICE or other rogue federal agents.
Evidence
Washington, May 15, 2026 ... Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05), Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, today introduced the No Special Immunity for Violating Our State Laws Act, legislation to ensure that states don’t have to fight through legal roadblocks to prosecute appalling criminal actions by ICE or other rogue federal agents.
The bill text would amend title 18, United States Code, to waive immunity for certain acts committed by Federal law enforcement officers. It adds language stating that a person engaged in immigration-enforcement duties who commits an act causing death or serious bodily injury is not immune from prosecution under the law of a State.
Assessments
Scanlon introduced legislation in the current federal term that directly matches the promise by seeking to remove immunity barriers to state prosecution of immigration-enforcement agents for certain serious criminal acts. However, the evidence shows introduction and referral only, not enactment or implemented legal change. Because the promised outcome was not delivered but she made a serious legislative attempt, this should be scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
