119th (2025–2027)
H.R. 7190
H.R. 7190 would eliminate immigration detention and electronic monitoring while redirecting resources toward community support services. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to release all detained noncitizens within six months and removes ankle monitors from monitored individuals within the same timeframe, repealing the legal authorities that allow such detention and monitoring. Within two years, the government must terminate all existing detention contracts and stop funding detention programs and facilities. Additionally, the bill ends federal funding for programs that share immigration enforcement information between federal and local law enforcement agencies. To replace these enforcement measures, the bill establishes a new grant program through the Department of Health and Human Services that provides community-based nonprofits with funding to offer voluntary wrap-around services—including housing, mental health care, healthcare access, job training, English classes, education assistance, and legal support—to immigrants. These services would be optional, conducted without surveillance, and provided by organizations that have no involvement with immigration enforcement or law enforcement activities.
