Humanitarian Standards for Individuals in ICE and CBP Custody Act

# Humanitarian Standards for Individuals in ICE and CBP Custody Act (HR 7335) **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would establish minimum humanitarian standards for people held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP)—the federal agencies that detain immigrants and people at U.S. borders. The legislation aims to set requirements for safe and humane conditions in detention facilities, though specific provisions aren't detailed in the available summary. **Who It Affects:** The bill would directly impact individuals detained by ICE and CBP, including asylum seekers, undocumented immigrants, and others in immigration custody.

It would also affect the detention facilities and federal agencies responsible for holding these individuals, potentially requiring operational changes and increased costs. **Current Status:** HR 7335 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. As a recently proposed bill (119th Congress), it remains in the early stages of the legislative process. The bill was sponsored by Representative Raul Ruiz, a Democrat from California.
