OPEN Act

The OPEN Act establishes stricter rules for immigration enforcement by granting Members of Congress unrestricted access to detention facilities and requiring the Department of Homeland Security to publicly report incidents involving excessive force or misconduct. It mandates that detained individuals receive timely access to legal counsel, family members, and medical care, while also setting new standards for transporting detainees safely and ensuring they are informed of facility transfers. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of administrative warrants to enter private homes without consent and requires judicial warrants for arrests, while also imposing penalties on facilities that fail to meet safety standards.
