Show full summary
- Families and detainees: Would make it less likely that new detainees are placed in facilities with unresolved deficiencies, by blocking new placements until issues are remediated.
- ICE and detention operators: Would force ICE and private facility operators to complete audits and fix deficiencies before opening or expanding facilities that begin operating after enactment or that have been audited.
- Congressional oversight: Would require the ICE Director to send audit results and the steps taken to fix problems to four congressional committees within 30 days after an audit is completed.
