Immigration Court Due Process Protection Act of 2025
This bill prohibits Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers from arresting or detaining immigrants at immigration court facilities during hearings or while arriving/departing for hearings, except with a judicial warrant. It applies to all pending immigration cases, appeals, and motions to reopen, covering anyone whose removal order isn't final. Exceptions allow arrests only to prevent imminent threats to life, safety, or national security. The bill also requires DHS to report scheduled check-in arrests to the Inspector General and mandates annual oversight reports to Congress on compliance.
