Specifically, it would ban the use of money from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" for buying warehouses, contracting with warehouse owners, or paying to staff and maintain any DHS-owned warehouse used for detention purposes. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect DHS operations and detention practices.

It could impact immigration enforcement agencies that currently use or plan to use warehouse facilities to hold people in immigration custody, as well as any private companies that contract with DHS to operate such facilities. **Current Status:** The bill (S 3927) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. No action has been taken beyond the initial committee referral.
