What this bill would do

This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a standardized system to track, record, and report specific instances of detention or removal. The system focuses on United States citizens, lawful permanent residents, or individuals whose status was revoked for less than 30 days. These reports must be sent to appropriate congressional committees at least once every quarter. The tracking includes instances where individuals are detained for 24 hours or more for immigration enforcement purposes. It also covers cases involving individuals under 18 who are removed alongside a parent or guardian without lawful status. Additionally, the Secretary of State and Secretary of Homeland Security must establish a process for individuals to submit proof of their citizenship or permanent residency.
