Humanitarian Standards for Individuals in U.S. Customs and Border Protection Custody Act
This bill establishes specific humanitarian standards for individuals in U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody. It directly affects all detainees in CBP facilities, including migrants, asylum seekers, and others held in border patrol stations, ports of entry, and detention centers. Key provisions require CBP to conduct initial health screenings within 12 hours (6 hours for high-priority cases), ensure access to 1 gallon of water per person daily, provide 3 meals with age-appropriate calorie requirements, and maintain shelter conditions that separate genders, accommodate children and people with disabilities, and maintain safe temperatures. The bill also mandates medical equipment and personnel, training for CBP staff, and regular inspections to ensure compliance with these standards.
