## Summary

**Bars routine DHS arrests at immigration court facilities and during scheduled check-ins.** This bill would stop DHS officers or agents from arresting or detaining people who are physically present at an Executive Office for Immigration Review immigration court to attend or participate in a hearing except when a judicial warrant exists or there is an imminent, specific threat to life, public safety, or national security. - Immigrants and families: People attending or arriving at or leaving immigration hearings would be protected from arrest or detention while their cases remain unresolved, including during appeals and motions, unless a judicial warrant or an imminent threat applies. - People checking in with DHS: The bill would bar arrests during scheduled DHS check-ins unless a senior field management official provides written authorization that states the legal basis, and the arrest is reported to the DHS Inspector General within 30 days. - Oversight and transparency: The DHS Inspector General would be required to produce a report starting one year after enactment and then annually. The report must list attempted and completed arrests, the legal basis for each, the immigration case posture of those arrested, and steps the Secretary takes to ensure compliance.
