The INFORM Act of 2025 requires the Department of Homeland Security to notify the immediate family members of detained immigrants within 24 hours whenever a person is transferred to a different detention facility. The notification must include the reason for the transfer and provide the name, address, phone number, and a contact person at the new facility. "Immediate family" is defined broadly to include parents, siblings, children, and spouses, as well as step-relations, foster relations, and legally recognized partnerships. This bill affects immigration detainees held under federal immigration laws and their families by establishing a new notification requirement, though it does not specify any funding appropriations or implementation timeline beyond the 24-hour notice period.
