Stop Inhumane Conditions in ICE Detention Act of 2026
Sponsored By: Representative Ansari, Yassamin [D-AZ-3]
In Committee
Summary
Establishes a system for real-time public monitoring of detainee health in U.S. immigration detention. The Stop Inhumane Conditions in ICE Detention Act of 2026 would require internet-accessible records of reported disease or injury, each diagnosis, each prescribed treatment, and each treatment outcome. It would cover DHS-operated spaces, contractor-run facilities, and any place used to detain noncitizens longer than four hours.
Show full summary
- Detainees and their families would gain transparency and a way to raise concerns. An anonymous, multilingual complaint system must be set up within six months and be available at secure digital kiosks or by toll-free hotline. Retaliation allegations must trigger an investigation by the DHS Inspector General or the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman within 14 days and reporters receive a language-appropriate report.
- Facility staff and health teams would face new operational rules. All staff must get mandatory training on the reporting system with no exemptions and each facility would employ a full-time health services liaison. The DHS Inspector General would conduct annual audits, including reviews of menstrual care, pregnancy outcomes, and trauma-informed services.
- Contractors, DHS leadership, and Congress would face stronger oversight and consequences. Quarterly public reports would start 15 months after enactment and be sent to House and Senate homeland security committees. After a third verified health complaint at a facility the Secretary would have to evaluate whether to terminate the operating agreement and publish that determination. Members of Congress and designated staff would have access rights with 24 hours’ advance notice allowed for staff but not required for Members.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Congressional access to detention sites
If enacted, the bill would stop DHS from blocking Members of Congress or changing facilities to alter what they would see during oversight visits to detention sites. A covered individual would mean a Member of Congress or a staff employee designated by a Member. Members could enter without giving prior notice. DHS could require designated staff to give 24 hours' advance notice. This rule would take effect on enactment.
Public health reporting for detainees
If enacted, this bill would require every place that detains noncitizens to run an internet-accessible health reporting system within 1 year. The system would be updated in real time as practicable and must record each report of disease or injury, each diagnosis, each prescribed treatment, and each treatment outcome. Each facility would need mandatory staff training and a full-time health services liaison. The bill would also require an anonymous, multilingual complaint system in facilities within 6 months and yearly inspections by the DHS Inspector General that review gender-related care. Retaliation complaints must be investigated within 14 days and the complainant would get a detailed report in a language they understand. Quarterly public reports would start 3 months after the one-year mark (about 15 months after enactment) and be posted on the DHS website and sent to relevant House and Senate committees. If a facility gets a verified health concern that is its third verified complaint, the Secretary would decide whether to terminate the facility agreement and publish that decision.
Which places count as detention
If enacted, the bill would define a covered detention facility to include contract-run facilities, any facility operated by or for DHS that houses noncitizens, and any space used to temporarily hold a noncitizen for more than 4 hours. The bill would also say that other key terms use the meanings in section 101(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This definition would take effect when the bill is enacted.
