Bill overview
This bill, the Humanitarian Standards for Individuals in U.S. Customs and Border Protection Custody Act, aims to improve the care and treatment of non-U.S. nationals held in CBP custody. It mandates initial health screenings within 12-6 hours of arrival, ensuring access to water, sanitation, food, and shelter while meeting specific standards. The bill also requires coordination with other agencies, unannounced inspections by the DHS Office of the Inspector General, and public reporting of sexual abuse complaints. Ultimately, the goal is to establish minimum standards for the humane treatment of detainees during CBP custody.
