The Immigration Court Due Process Protection Act of 2025 would prohibit Department of Homeland Security officers from arresting or detaining immigrants at immigration court facilities or immediately upon their arrival or departure, unless they have a judicial warrant issued by a judge. The law would apply to anyone with pending immigration cases or ongoing appeals, protecting people throughout their court proceedings. The bill includes a narrow exception for situations involving imminent violence or specific threats to public safety or national security, and it also restricts arrests at scheduled check-ins with DHS unless approved by senior supervisory officials and reported to the Inspector General. To ensure compliance, the DHS Inspector General would be required to submit annual reports to Congress documenting arrest attempts, their legal basis, and the immigration status of those arrested. The bill was introduced on December 9, 2025, and would take effect upon enactment, with the first compliance report due one year later.
