To prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from entering into, modifying, extending, or renewing, any contract or intergovernmental service agreement to establish or operate any new immigration detention model, including the use of warehouses, modular facilities, soft-sided structures, tent systems, and processing centers.

This bill aims to prevent the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from creating or expanding certain types of immigration detention facilities. It specifically prohibits DHS, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from establishing, operating, or renovating any new immigration detention model, which encompasses facilities such as warehouses, industrial buildings, tents, soft-sided structures, and modular units for housing or processing individuals under civil immigration authority.

The legislation explicitly forbids the use of any federal funds for the construction, renovation, expansion, or operation of these prohibited detention models. Furthermore, it prohibits the reprogramming or transfer of funds for these purposes, ensuring that existing allocations cannot be diverted to build or run such facilities. Instead, any funds previously obligated for these new detention models must be transferred to support vital community services, including affordable healthcare and housing.

The bill's findings highlight concerns about DHS's plans to acquire and retrofit warehouses for detention, drawing parallels to historical internment camps. It also cites documented issues within the immigration detention system, such as human rights violations, medical neglect, and a significant number of deaths, arguing that these new models would exacerbate unacceptable conditions and negatively impact surrounding communities.
