Public Immigration Detention Database and Rights Protection
This new law mandates the creation of a public database for individuals held by immigration authorities, increasing government transparency. Citizens will have access to information about the location and duration of detentions, which can help in locating loved ones. The act also ensures the continued operation of offices dedicated to civil rights and detention complaints.
Key points
A public, daily updated database of individuals in immigration custody will be established, excluding personally identifiable information.
The database will include details on location, duration of detention, legal authority, and transfers of detained individuals.
The continued operation of offices protecting civil rights and handling detention complaints will be ensured.
Information on the use of non-traditional detention locations, such as military facilities or Indian lands, will be included in the database.
