This bill aims to strengthen due process protections by prohibiting unlawful detention based on specific personal attributes. It amends Section 4001 of title 18, United States Code, to explicitly state that no individual may be imprisoned or otherwise detained solely due to an actual or perceived protected characteristic . The legislation defines "protected characteristic" to include a comprehensive list such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability . It also allows the Attorney General to add further characteristics, but explicitly prevents the removal of those already listed. This measure aims to prevent discriminatory practices in detention by codifying protections for a wide range of personal attributes.
