This bill aims to prevent the use of specific federal funds for the detention of noncitizens in warehouse facilities. It explicitly prohibits the expenditure of amounts made available through Public Law 119-21 , also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, for such purposes. Specifically, the legislation forbids using these funds to purchase warehouses or to contract with owners of warehouses for the purpose of detaining noncitizens. Furthermore, it prevents U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from using these funds to repurpose, operate, staff, or maintain any warehouse they own for noncitizen detention. This measure seeks to restrict the Department of Homeland Security's ability to utilize warehouse spaces for immigration detention.
