What this bill would do
The Immigration Court Due Process Protection Act of 2025 aims to restrict the Department of Homeland Security from arresting or detaining individuals at immigration court facilities. Under this bill, agents cannot arrest people attending or participating in hearings without a judicial warrant. These restrictions apply to anyone whose removal order is not yet final, including those with pending appeals. Additionally, specific rules are established for arrests during scheduled check-ins with the Department. The bill also includes exceptions for preventing imminent violence or threats to public safety. Finally, it mandates annual oversight reports from the Inspector General to Congress.
