Stop ICE’s Medical Neglect Act of 2026
Refreshed 3 h ago
Introduced 2026-08-03Topic: immigration · health care · civil rightsSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a public online platform where people held in immigration detention by ICE or Customs and Border Protection, or their lawyers or family members, can file complaints of medical neglect. Complaints would be kept confidential and reviewed by a contracted medical expert. If the expert finds neglect occurred, the Secretary must make sure the person receives needed medical treatment; if not, the decision can be appealed to the Department's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. The bill would bar retaliation against detainees for filing complaints or contacting lawyers or Congress, and would require translation services in covered facilities.
