Immigration (Enforcement)

The Private Detention Accountability Act (S 3932) requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to submit audit reports to specific congressional committees within 30 days after completing facility inspections. It prohibits ICE from housing new detainees at any detention facility unless the facility has undergone a completed audit, any identified issues have been fixed, and the required report has been submitted. This applies to all facilities starting operations after the law's enactment or those already operating that have had their audits finalized. The bill directly affects ICE detention facilities and the non-citizens held within them by mandating transparency and safety compliance before new housing occurs.
