End Warehouse Detention Act
Ban on Using Warehouses for Immigration Detention
Legislative Progress
Senate
Key Points
- The End Warehouse Detention Act would stop the Department of Homeland Security from using money from a recent major spending law to house immigrants in warehouses. This includes buying new buildings or paying private owners to use their warehouses for detention.
- The bill specifically targets agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). It would prevent them from fixing up, staffing, or running any warehouse they already own if the goal is to use it as a place to hold noncitizens.
- This move aims to prevent the government from using industrial buildings as makeshift jails. By blocking this funding, the bill tries to ensure that people in government custody are not kept in buildings that were not originally built for housing people.
