Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Homeland Security, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Detained individuals would get a new online system to report medical neglect confidentially.

People held in immigration detention, their families, and lawyers would get a new online system. This system would let them confidentially report medical neglect. Complaints would be reviewed by medical experts, and individuals could appeal decisions.

What Would Change

Right now, people held in immigration detention by ICE or CBP do not have a specific, government-mandated online system to report medical neglect. If this bill becomes law, it would create a confidential online platform for these complaints, ensure they are reviewed by medical experts, and provide an appeal process and protection against punishment for those who report issues.

Key Provisions

Requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a public online platform for medical neglect complaints from detained individuals.
Lets detained individuals, their legal counsel, or family members submit confidential complaints about medical neglect.
Requires a contracted medical expert to review all submitted medical neglect complaints.
Ensures detained individuals receive necessary medical treatment if neglect is confirmed by an expert.
Allows appeals to the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties if no neglect is found.
Protects detained individuals from retaliation for submitting complaints or communicating about their care.
