AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Immigration Court Due Process Protection Act of 2025," aims to prevent the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from arresting or detaining individuals who are present at or immediately arriving at or departing from immigration court facilities for the purpose of attending or participating in a hearing, unless a judicial warrant is obtained. These protections would apply to individuals with ongoing immigration proceedings or those appealing a final removal order, with an exception for situations where immediate action is necessary to prevent violence or a threat to life, public safety, or national security. The bill also restricts arrests during scheduled appointments or check-ins with DHS, requiring written authorization from a senior supervisor and a report to the Inspector General. Furthermore, the DHS Inspector General will be required to submit an annual report to Congress detailing compliance with these provisions, including the number and basis of arrests, the immigration case status of those arrested, and the steps taken by the Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure compliance.
