Tracking Detentions and Removals of US Citizens and Permanent Residents
This new bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to establish a system to track instances where US citizens and permanent residents are detained or removed for immigration enforcement purposes. This aims to increase government transparency and allow individuals to submit proof of their citizenship or permanent residency if mistakenly detained or removed.
Key points
The Department of Homeland Security must create a system to monitor all instances of US citizens and permanent residents being detained or removed by immigration enforcement.
The system will collect data on detentions lasting at least 24 hours and removals, including cases where individuals are transferred from other agencies.
A process will be established for detained or removed individuals to submit proof of their US citizenship or permanent resident status.
Information on these cases will be regularly reported to relevant Congressional committees, increasing public oversight.
