The gist

Forces every ICE detention facility to track detainee health in real time, accept anonymous complaints, and face contract loss after three verified health violations.

Who wins, who loses

Wins: detained immigrants, their families, Congressional oversight staff, immigration advocates.

Loses: private detention contractors facing new compliance costs and possible contract termination after repeated violations.

What it does

Requires internet-accessible health databases at every facility within 1 year, logging injuries, diagnoses, treatments, outcomes.

Sets up anonymous multilingual kiosks and hotlines within 6 months; retaliation triggers 14-day investigations.

Triggers mandatory contract review after the 3rd verified health complaint at any facility.

Lets Members of Congress enter facilities for oversight without prior notice; bans staged improvements before visits.

Why should I care?

Supporters say detainees have died from untreated medical issues and families deserve transparency about loved ones in custody. Critics argue the rules pile costly mandates on facilities and could let activists disrupt operations through unannounced visits. An alternative being debated: shift detention to federal-run sites with built-in healthcare standards. Where do you land? Vote below and use "Tell Your Rep" to make sure your voice reaches Congress.
