Show full summary
  • Detainees and migrants: Would prohibit using four- and five-point restraints on people in DHS custody. If the ban is violated, reports must include age, sex, race, ethnicity, citizenship or immigration status, duration of restraint, location, and whether language access was provided.
  • DHS employees: Would require removal of any officer or employee who violates the prohibition or who deceives Congress or departmental leadership. Discipline and adverse actions are to follow the Department's existing employee discipline programs.
  • Oversight and acquisitions: Would require the Secretary to file a report 90 days after enactment and quarterly thereafter to relevant congressional committees with an accounting of full-body restraints in DHS possession. The prohibition would not apply to contracts or similar agreements entered into on or before enactment.
