HR 3828 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary
This bill prohibits immigration officers and agents of the Department of Homeland Security from wearing any clothing, accessories, or other items bearing the word "police" while performing immigration enforcement duties. The restriction applies to officers and agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
