Alien Removal Not Resort Stays Act

# Alien Removal Not Resort Stays Act (HR 1485) Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill, sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), aims to restrict how the federal government can house immigrants who are awaiting deportation proceedings. While the specific details aren't provided in the basic information available, the bill's title suggests it would prohibit or limit the use of hotel accommodations or other resort-like facilities for detaining immigrants, potentially requiring the use of traditional detention centers instead. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect immigrants in removal proceedings and the Department of Homeland Security agencies responsible for detention.

It could also impact private contractors and facilities that currently provide accommodation services for immigration detention, as well as taxpayers depending on how detention costs change under the policy. **Current Status** As of now, HR 1485 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a floor vote in the House. The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process and would require committee approval and House passage before moving forward.
