SAFE Act

United States119th CongressHR-3615House of Representatives
Updated: May 26, 2025

Summary

This legislation aims to prevent the use of United States Federal funds to support the detention of individuals by foreign governments or entities under specific circumstances. It establishes a clear prohibition on the obligation or expenditure of any Federal funds for such payments. The key condition for this prohibition is that a court of the United States must have determined that the detention in question violates the laws of the United States . This ensures that U.S. financial resources are not used, directly or indirectly, to facilitate detentions that American courts deem unlawful. The bill also defines a "foreign entity" as any entity not organized under U.S. law.
