To establish a system to track, record, and report all instances in which a United States citizen or individual lawfully admitted for permanent resident was, for the purpose of immigration enforcement, detained or removed by the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create a system tracking all detentions or removals of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) during immigration enforcement. DHS must report these cases quarterly to Congress, including instances where minors were removed alongside undocumented parents. The system must also include cases involving citizens or LPRs detained by other agencies and transferred to DHS. A separate process for individuals to prove citizenship or LPR status during detention must be established within 180 days.
