Stop Unlawful Detention and End Mistreatment Act of 2025

This bill would create a public, daily-updated immigration detention database to publish detailed information on people held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and on detention sites. It aims to increase transparency and strengthen oversight of detention practices.

• Families and people in custody: Gives families, lawyers, and the public daily access to records for each person in ICE custody, including the legal authority for detention, how long someone has been detained, facility location with privacy exceptions, transfer counts, and whether an individual is subject to a removal order. The database must not include personally identifiable information.
• Tribal nations, foreign locations, and nontraditional sites: Requires detailed reporting for nontraditional detention locations such as Department of Defense property, Indian lands, and sites outside the continental United States. Reports must include the type and location, written justification, number of beds to be used, standards of care, timelines, estimated costs and budgets, and copies of any agreements.
• Oversight and public accountability: Compiles unresolved recommendations from the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, DHS civil rights office, the DHS Office of Inspector General, and the Government Accountability Office with timelines or written rationales for not adopting them. The bill also bars the Secretary from discontinuing or reducing the Ombudsman or the Civil Rights and Civil Liberties office while appropriations are available.
