Humane Accountability Act

HR 3473, the Humane Accountability Act, requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to submit detailed reports to Congress about immigration detentions and facility conditions. It mandates specific data on detention numbers, removals, locations (including sensitive sites like schools), and incidents of abuse, medical care, or deaths in custody. The bill also requires advance notice to Congress before using non-traditional detention sites (such as military bases or tribal lands), including justification, capacity, and compliance plans. These reports aim to increase transparency for detainees, their families, and Congress regarding detention practices. The bill directly affects immigration detention facilities, immigrant detainees, and federal agencies managing immigration enforcement.
