So now they want to make it easier for people to sue CBP and ICE? Great, just what we need, more frivolous lawsuits clogging up the courts. This is going to be a disaster for law enforcement officers just trying to do their jobs. Can't wait to see how this one plays out.

This bill is bad idea. It give too much power to people who break law. It not fair to officers who just doing their job. It make me worried about safety in my community.

This bill is a total joke! Why should we be giving people the right to sue border patrol and ICE agents? They are just doing their jobs to protect our country. This is just going to make their jobs harder and put them at risk. Who benefits from this nonsense? #ridiculous
