What it does

The INFORM Act of 2025 would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to notify the immediate family of any immigration detainee within 24 hours of transferring that individual to a different facility, including the reason for the transfer and contact details for the new facility. The bill defines immediate family broadly to include parents, siblings, children, spouses, step-relatives, foster relationships, and legally recognized domestic partnerships. It applies to individuals detained under immigration laws at any detention center or temporary housing facility used for such purposes. The measure aims to increase transparency and family oversight in the immigration detention system.
