This bill seeks 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 forbid the imprisonment or detention of any individual solely due to an actual or perceived protected characteristic. The legislation defines "protected characteristic" broadly to include race , ethnicity , national origin , religion , sex , gender identity , sexual orientation , and disability . Additionally, the Attorney General may designate further characteristics as protected, though they cannot remove any of the explicitly listed categories. This measure aims to prevent discriminatory detentions and uphold civil liberties for all individuals in the United States.
