The Equal Detention Standards Act of 2025 requires that all immigration detention facilities operated under contract with the Department of Homeland Security must follow the Federal Performance Based Detention Standards created by the U.S. Marshal Service, in addition to any other standards already in their contracts. This applies to any new agreement or renewal of an existing agreement for operating an immigration detention facility. The bill affects all private companies and entities that run immigration detention facilities across the country by establishing uniform federal performance standards they must meet. The legislation takes effect upon enactment and applies immediately to new contracts and any renewals, though no specific funding amounts or implementation timeline beyond the enactment date are specified in the bill text.
