Bill Summary
A bill to ensure due process protections of individuals in the United States against unlawful detention based solely on a protected characteristic.
AI Summary
This bill, the Korematsu-Takai Civil Liberties Protection Act of 2023, aims to prohibit the detention of individuals based solely on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic the Attorney General deems protected. The bill amends Section 4001 of Title 18 of the United States Code to explicitly state that no one can be imprisoned or detained solely because of their actual or perceived protected characteristics. This bill seeks to prevent unlawful detention practices that have historically targeted certain groups, such as the Japanese-American internment during World War II, and to safeguard the civil liberties of all individuals in the United States.
