Immigration Court Due Process Protection Act of 2025

This bill would bar Department of Homeland Security officers from arresting or detaining people at immigration court facilities, or right as they arrive or leave, when they are there for a hearing, unless the officers have a judicial warrant. The limits would apply to people whose cases have not ended in a final removal order, and to people appealing or challenging such an order. Officers could still act to prevent an imminent act of violence or a specific threat to life, public safety, or national security. Arrests at scheduled DHS check-ins would require written approval from a senior supervisor and a report to the Inspector General within 30 days. The DHS Inspector General would report to Congress each year on compliance.
