No Illegal Captivity and Extensions Act of 2026

This bill would end the use of immigration detainers, which are requests by federal immigration authorities that other law enforcement agencies hold a person. It would remove sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act that allow detainers, including the one tied to controlled substance violations. It would bar the Secretary of Homeland Security from issuing or enforcing any detainer or hold under immigration laws, including through agreements with federal, state, or local law enforcement. It would also stop the Secretary from requiring other parties to enforce detainers as a condition of service agreements.
