S. 3927, the End Warehouse Detention Act, would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from using federal funds appropriated under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to purchase, contract for, or operate warehouses used to detain noncitizens. The bill specifically blocks spending on acquiring warehouses, contracting with warehouse owners for detention purposes, and repurposing or maintaining existing warehouses owned by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection for detaining immigrants. The legislation affects how DHS can use a portion of its federal budget and targets detention practices that rely on warehouse facilities rather than traditional detention centers. By restricting warehouse-based detention, the bill aims to limit a particular approach to immigrant detention without banning detention altogether. The measure was introduced in February 2026 and applies only to funds made available through the recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
