LOCATE Act

This bill would require the online system that tracks people in immigration detention to be updated within 6 hours of a custody change for people held by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and within 12 hours for people held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Custody changes include intake, transfers between facilities, release, removal from the country, and death. When CBP transfers a person to ICE, CBP would have to share the person's information with ICE within 4 hours. The system would have to list each detainee's name, birth date, current facility and contact person, key dates, and any release, deportation, or death. The Homeland Security Inspector General would audit compliance every year, and reasonable efforts would have to be made to notify family or lawyers within 12 hours of a custody change.
