Humane Accountability Act

HR 6282, the Humane Accountability Act, requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to jointly submit a report to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment. The report must detail specific incidents in immigration detention, including assaults requiring medical care, sexual assaults with investigation findings, detainee deaths, and complaints about abuse, neglect, or lack of legal access. Following this report, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) must then provide Congress with recommendations to address these issues within 90 days. The bill focuses on increasing transparency and accountability in immigration detention facilities, directly affecting CBP, ICE, and ORR custody operations.
