Stop Unlawful Detention and End Mistreatment Act of 2025

This bill would make the Department of Homeland Security create a public, online database about immigration detention. It would show, without naming people, why someone is being held, how long they’ve been held, where they’re held (with protections for minors and others who must be kept confidential), whether they’ve been moved, and whether they have a removal order. The database must be updated every day, with past days saved and shared each year, and it cannot include personally identifiable information.

It would also show big‑picture information: demographics of people in ICE custody, records of discipline and use of force, transfers, deportations, and details about any “non‑traditional” sites used for detention, like military bases, tribal lands, or places outside the continental U.S. (including the reasons for use, number of beds, medical care standards, costs, and agreements). The site must list any open oversight recommendations from federal watchdog offices and ICE’s plan or reasons for not acting on them. The bill also says DHS cannot shut down or scale back the Immigration Detention Ombudsman or the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, if funds are available.

• Who is affected: People in ICE custody; the public who can view the data; DHS oversight offices that handle detention complaints.
• What changes: A daily‑updated, public database with detention details and oversight status; limits on sharing exact locations for protected individuals; continued operation of key oversight offices.
• When: Database updated daily; past information archived and released annually.
