The main purpose of the Respect Tribal IDs Act of 2026 is to ensure that officers and employees of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) receive proper training regarding Indian tribes. This training aims to improve interactions between immigration enforcement personnel and members of Indian tribes, particularly in recognizing and accepting tribal identification as valid proof of U.S. citizenship. Key provisions of the Act require the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a training curriculum within 180 days of the law's enactment.
