Families of immigration detainees would get transfer notices
This bill would make sure that immediate family members of people held in immigration detention get notified quickly if their loved one is moved to a new facility. The Department of Homeland Security would have to provide notice within 24 hours, including why the move happened and how to contact the new place.
Currently, there is no federal rule requiring the Department of Homeland Security to tell immediate family members within 24 hours if an immigration detainee is moved. This bill would require the Department to provide this notice within 24 hours, including the reason for the transfer and full contact information for the new facility.
