Prohibition of Family Detention Centers and Support for Alternatives

This act prohibits taxpayer money from being used to build and operate facilities that detain families seeking asylum. Instead, these funds will be redirected to community-based programs that support families, providing them with access to legal aid and case management outside of detention. This aims to protect children and families from the negative impacts of isolation.
Key points
End to funding for family detention centers: Money will no longer be spent on detaining families in closed facilities.
Support for community programs: Funds will be redirected to programs assisting families within communities, with access to legal advice.
Protection of children and families: The goal is to avoid the negative psychological and social consequences associated with detention for children and their parents.
