Short-Term Holding Facility Standards Restoration Act.

This bill requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to limit the use of short-term holding facilities to a maximum of 12 hours for detainees, unless specific exceptional circumstances like medical emergencies or natural disasters occur. To enforce this rule, the Department of Homeland Security must ensure facilities remain safe and provide meals every six hours, along with constant access to water and appropriate food for vulnerable individuals such as minors and pregnant women. The legislation also mandates that officials document any instances where a detainee is held longer than 12 hours and submit annual reports to Congress detailing the number of such cases, their duration, and the reasons given for the extended custody. Additionally, the Department's Inspector General will conduct periodic audits to verify compliance with these new standards.
