 The Menendez-Kennedy bill would require ICE to protect the dueprocess rights of U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents and immigrants whoare impacted by immigration enforcement operations.  Thebill would enhance parole opportunities for individuals subject todetention; improve the Department's current alternatives to detention programs;and require DHS to issue regulations to ensure immigrant detaineesare treated humanely. This bill would require ICE to report any labor violations that are discovered during a raid to the appropriate government labor or employmentrights agency and ensures that detained workers are not removed from thecountry until after that agency has had the opportunity to determine whetherlegal proceedings against the violating employer are appropriate.
