SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:

(6) This Act seeks to restore essential rights and protections without compromising our Nation's safety.

SEC. 302. EXERCISE OF PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION.

(a) Sense of Congress Regarding Prosecutorial Discretion-

(1) FINDINGS- Congress finds the following:

(A) Exercising prosecutorial discretion is not an invitation to violate or ignore the law, rather it is a means by which the resources of the Secretary of Homeland Security may be used to best accomplish the mission of the Department of Homeland Security in administering and enforcing the immigration laws of the United States.

(B) Although a favorable exercise of discretion by any office within the Department of Homeland Security should be respected by other offices of such Department, unless the facts and circumstances in a specific case have changed, the exercise of prosecutorial discretion does not grant lawful status under the immigration laws, and there is no legally enforceable right to the exercise of prosecutorial discretion.

(2) SENSE OF CONGRESS- It is the sense of Congress that the exercise of prosecutorial discretion does not lessen the commitment of the Secretary of Homeland Security to enforce the immigration laws to the best of the Secretary's ability.

(b) Prosecutorial Discretion- The Secretary of Homeland Security shall exercise prosecutorial discretion in deciding whether to exercise its enforcement powers against an alien. This discretion includes--

(1) focusing investigative resources on particular offenses or conduct;

(2) deciding whom to stop, question, and arrest;

(3) deciding whether to detain certain aliens who are in custody;

(4) settling or dismissing a removal proceeding;

(5) granting deferred action or staying a final removal order;

(6) agreeing to voluntary departure, permitting withdrawal of an application for admission, or taking other action in lieu of removing an alien;

(7) pursuing an appeal; or

(8) executing a removal order.

(c) Factors for Consideration- The factors that shall be taken into account in deciding whether to exercise prosecutorial discretion favorably toward an alien include--

(1) the immigration status of the alien;

(2) the length of residence in the United States of the alien;

(3) the criminal history of the alien;

(4) humanitarian concerns;

(5) the immigration history of the alien;

(6) the likelihood of ultimately removing the alien;

(7) the likelihood of achieving the enforcement goal by other means;

(8) whether the alien is eligible or is likely to become eligible for other relief;

(9) the effect of such action on the future admissibility of the alien;

(10) current or past cooperation by the alien with law enforcement authorities;

(11) honorable service by the alien in the United States military;

(13) resources available to the Department of Homeland Security.

`(2) Except as provided in paragraphs (4) and (5), the Secretary of Homeland Security shall levy a civil monetary penalty of--

`(A) up to $100 against an alien who fails to submit written notice in compliance with section 265;

`(C) up to $1,000 for each subsequent violation of section 265 after the second violation.

`(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, no change of immigration status shall result from failure to submit written notice as required by section 265.

`(4) During the transition period, a failure to comply with section 265 shall not result in a penalty or a change in immigration status. At the conclusion of the transition period, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall collect and maintain statistics concerning all enforcement actions related to this subsection.
