AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to give each person in their custody an in-person health screening by a licensed medical professional within 12 hours of arrival, or within 6 hours for children, pregnant people, elderly people, and those with urgent medical needs. It sets minimum standards for water, toilets, showers, hygiene products, meals, room temperature, sleeping conditions, outdoor time, and video monitoring at these facilities. It requires staff training, unannounced inspections by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General, and a study by the Government Accountability Office. It also bars ICE and CBP from denying Members of Congress entry to their facilities and requires quarterly public release of data on sexual abuse complaints.
