Plain-English Summary

The bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to create a comprehensive database that tracks and publicly reports every time a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident is detained or deported for immigration enforcement purposes. This system would provide transparency about who is being detained, where they're being held, and what happens to them, allowing citizens and lawmakers to see patterns in immigration enforcement actions. The goal appears to be ensuring that immigration authorities don't mistakenly detain or remove people who have the legal right to stay in the country.
