§2.Reports relating to certain detainees
This section requires the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), not later than 30 days after enactment, to report to Congress on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) encounters since January 21, 2025, that resulted in noncitizen detentions (including names, nationalities, and legal authority); encounters at sensitive locations (e.g., schools, places of worship, hospitals, child care centers, courthouses); total removals (including names, nationalities, alien numbers, legal authority, and destination countries); and noncitizens removed to El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) or Guantanamo Bay (including those without a final removal order).
This section further requires the Secretaries of DHS and Health and Human Services (HHS), not later than 60 days after enactment, to jointly report to Congress and the Comptroller General on detainees held by CBP, ICE, or HHS's Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR)—covering assaults or abuse requiring medical attention; sexual assault reports and investigations; local law enforcement or emergency responder calls; overnight medical hospitalizations; detainee deaths; and detainee or family complaints on abuse, neglect, resources, deaths, or lack of legal access (including agency responses). Not later than 90 days after receiving that report, the Comptroller General must report to Congress recommendations to address its findings, plus additional recommendations on effects of closures of the USCIS Ombudsman, DHS's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL), and DHS's Immigration Detention Ombudsman (OIDO); ensuring legal visitation compliance; increasing Inspectors General reviews of facilities for due process and civil rights protections; and improving public detainee location tracking (including transfers and updates to ICE's Online Detainee Locator System through repatriation).
This section also requires DHS or HHS, not later than 60 days before using a non-traditional detention location for CBP, ICE, or ORR detainees (including noncitizen minors or family units), to notify Congress—in coordination with the Attorney General, Secretary of Defense, and other relevant agency heads—of the location type and specifics, justification, number of beds, and compliance efforts.
