The purpose of this legislation, known as the "No Private Bounty Hunters for Immigration Enforcement Act," is to restrict the use of private contractors by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for certain immigration enforcement activities. The main objective is to prevent private entities from conducting surveillance, skip tracing, or location verification related to civil immigration enforcement. Key provisions of the law include a complete ban on DHS entering into new contracts or agreements with private individuals or companies for the specified enforcement activities.
