This amendment, submitted by Mr. Peters, makes a specific change to the funding numbers in the bill.

It cuts the funding amount on page 824 from $46,550,000,000 down to $46,412,000,000.
It adds a new section called SEC. 90008. OFFICE OF THE IMMIGRATION DETENTION OMBUDSMAN.

The Purpose

The purpose of adding this new section is to provide the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman with $138,000,000 for fiscal year 2025.

The text also explicitly notes that the office must maintain its independence and oversight functions, which are described as vital for monitoring and investigating complaints.
