Congress.gov lists H.R. 6397 as introduced on 12/03/2025, referred to House Judiciary and Homeland Security, with tracker status: "This bill has the status Introduced."

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official congressional status shows the family/child detention bill had not advanced beyond introduction, so the promised prohibition was not delivered as law as of the available record.

The official release says Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Adam Smith introduced the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act and that it would "Prohibit the detention of families and children in family detention."

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is concrete aligned action by Smith in the relevant federal office, but introduction of the bill alone does not prove delivery of the promised prohibition.

Smith materially advanced aligned federal legislation by joining Rep. Jayapal in introducing H.R. 6397, the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, which included a prohibition on family and child detention in family immigration detention. However, Congress.gov still shows the bill only as introduced and referred to House committees, with no passage, enactment, or equivalent federal prohibition delivered. This supports serious effort but not fulfillment.
