INFORM Act of 2025

This bill would require the government to tell a detained person’s immediate family when that person is moved to a new immigration detention site. The notice must go out within 24 hours after the transfer and must include why the person was moved, plus the name, address, phone number, and a contact person at the new facility.

The bill also defines what counts as a “facility,” which includes detention centers and places temporarily used to hold people under immigration laws. It defines “immediate family,” but the specific list is not shown in the provided text.

• Who is affected: Immigration detainees and their immediate families.
• What changes: Family must be notified of any transfer, with the reason and full contact details for the new facility.
• When: Notice must be sent within 24 hours after the person is moved.
