What this bill would do

The "Find Our Families Act of 2026" requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a public online system to locate individuals detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This system must be available in multiple languages and allow searches by name, registration number, or birth details. The bill mandates strict timelines for updating detainee locations and transfers, while exempting minors from the public system. It also requires notification of family members when a detainee is moved for medical care and mandates public reporting on CBP arrest data and operations.
