Plain-English Summary

When someone is arrested or detained by federal law enforcement, their family members would be notified within a specific timeframe if that person dies, is seriously injured, or becomes seriously ill while in custody. The law would apply to federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ensuring families get timely information about what happens to their loved ones rather than being left in the dark. This affects both detainees and their families who have a right to know about serious medical emergencies or deaths occurring during federal custody.
