Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act: This legislation would provide standards for facilities at which aliens in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security are detained, and for other purposes.
Support the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to set standards for immigration detention facilities.
Occurrences
Evidence
The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act would require DHS civil detention standards, unannounced Inspector General inspections, an end to family detention, and tighter oversight.
Congress.gov lists Rep. Escobar, Veronica [D-TX-16] as a cosponsor of H.R. 4393.
Assessments
Escobar took a concrete legislative support action by cosponsoring related detention-reform legislation, but the specific Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act was only introduced and did not become law, so the promise is only partially fulfilled.
