Bill > HR4078

This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to create and maintain a comprehensive, publicly accessible online database about immigration detention, which would include detailed information about individuals in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. The database must be updated daily and would track key details such as the legal basis for detention, duration of detention, detention location (with some privacy protections), transfer history, demographic information, disciplinary actions, and deportation data. It would also cover information about non-traditional detention locations, including military properties, Indian lands, and areas outside the continental United States, requiring justification for their use, expected bed capacity, detention standards, and associated costs. The database is explicitly prohibited from including personally identifiable information to protect individual privacy. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Homeland Security cannot discontinue or reduce the operations of the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman or the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, ensuring continued oversight of immigration detention practices. The bill, named the "Stop Unlawful Detention and End Mistreatment Act of 2025," aims to increase transparency and accountability in the immigration detention system.
