Protecting Sensitive Locations Act
This bill establishes 1,000-foot buffer zones around an expansive list of areas it deems "sensitive" for immigration enforcement, with limited exceptions for exigent circumstances. It would have the impact of turning most of the U.S. into a sanctuary location for illegal aliens. The sensitive locations are as follows:
Medical/mental healthcare facilities (hospitals, practitioner offices, clinics, vaccination/testing sites, urgent care, community health centers); public/private schools (preschool-university), early childhood education program sites, institutions of learning (vocational/trade schools), workforce training sites; scholastic/education-related activities/events (field trips, interscholastic events); school buses/stops (when children present); children's recreational facilities (playgrounds); child care facilities (centers, before/after school care, foster care, group homes); disaster/emergency response/relief locations (supply distribution, shelters, evacuation routes, registration sites); organizations assisting children, pregnant women, crime/abuse victims, disabled individuals (domestic violence shelters, child advocacy centers, disabled service facilities, drug/alcohol treatment, rape crisis centers, supervised visitation centers, family justice centers, victim services, social service CBOs) or providing emergency/homeless services (food banks/pantries, shelters); places of worship/religious study (churches, synagogues, mosques, rented spaces, temporary facilities); sites of funerals, graveside ceremonies, weddings, other religious/civil ceremonies; sites of public demonstrations (marches, rallies, parades); Federal/State/local courthouses, legal counsel/representative offices, probation offices; congressional district offices; Social Security offices; public assistance offices (unemployment, labor law reporting); department of motor vehicles premises; polling places; labor union halls/offices; public libraries; and any other locations specified by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
