To end detention and electronic monitoring, and redirect funding to community-based wrap-around services.

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to release all detained noncitizens on their own recognizance within six months and would repeal several laws that allow immigration detention. It would require removal of all ankle monitors from noncitizens within six months and end federal funding for immigration detention and monitoring contracts within two years. It would bar U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from using certain funds for civil immigration enforcement, such as arrests and removals, and end federal funding for information-sharing partnerships with state and local police for immigration enforcement. It would also create a Health and Human Services grant program for community nonprofits to provide voluntary services, such as housing, health care access, English classes, and legal help, to people affected by immigration enforcement.
