Stop ICE’s Medical Neglect Act of 2026

The Stop ICE's Medical Neglect Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security to create an online system where detained individuals, their lawyers, or family members can confidentially report medical neglect at immigration detention facilities. Under this bill, an independent medical expert would review each complaint to determine if neglect occurred, ensuring necessary treatment is provided if the claim is valid while allowing for an appeal process if it is denied. The legislation also mandates that detainees cannot face retaliation for filing complaints or seeking medical care and must have access to language translation services. Additionally, the law defines specific criteria for what constitutes medical neglect, such as failures in providing timely care, medication management, or specialty referrals.
