Bill > SB1399

This bill indefinitely extends the requirement for the Attorney General, or their designee, to review locked detention facilities in California that house noncitizens for civil immigration proceedings, including those holding minors on behalf of federal agencies like the Office of Refugee Resettlement or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Previously, these review requirements were set to expire on July 1, 2027, but this bill removes all such date limitations, making the reviews a permanent part of state law. Additionally, the bill removes the specific requirement for these reviews to include an examination of the circumstances surrounding individuals' apprehension and transfer to these facilities, while retaining the review of conditions of confinement and the standard of care and due process provided. The Department of Justice will continue to provide updates and information to the Legislature and Governor during the budget process regarding these reviews.
