Summary of Bill HR 673

Bill 119 hr 673, also known as the "Homeland Security Investigations Transfer Act," aims to transfer the responsibilities of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to a new agency called U.S. Immigration Compliance Enforcement. This bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to immigration enforcement.

The main goal of this legislation is to separate the investigative functions of HSI from the enforcement functions of ICE, in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of both agencies. By creating a new agency specifically focused on immigration compliance, supporters of the bill believe that it will lead to better enforcement of immigration laws and more targeted investigations into criminal activities related to immigration.

Critics of the bill argue that this restructuring may lead to confusion and inefficiencies within the Department of Homeland Security, as well as potential disruptions to ongoing investigations and operations. They also raise concerns about the potential impact on immigrant communities and the overall enforcement of immigration laws. Overall, the passage of Bill 119 hr 673 would result in significant changes to the structure and operations of ICE and HSI, with the ultimate goal of improving immigration enforcement and compliance efforts in the United States.
