Show full summary
- Families and children: Would highlight anxiety, hypervigilance, and harms to child development tied to enforcement and family separation. It cites about 5.5 million U.S.-born children living with an undocumented family member.
- Immigrants and detainees: Would condemn ICE tactics alleged to violate the Fourth Amendment and erode due process. The text notes 71.7 percent of detainees have no criminal convictions, 93 percent have no violent convictions, and detention capacity has grown to nearly 100,000.
- Nonprofits and service providers: Would acknowledge nonprofit roles and ask the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to gather data and coordinate culturally comprehensive mental‑health care.
- Oversight and accountability: Would affirm the House’s role to oversee ICE and DHS, investigate detention centers, and identify and prevent abuses by immigration officers and named officials.
