Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
The Respect for Local Communities Act bars the Department of Homeland Security from constructing, acquiring, renovating, or operating any new immigration detention or processing site unless it first opens a 30‑day public comment period, signs a written agreement with the local mayor, council and the state governor, and gives Congress advance notice. The measure adds transparency, environmental and economic review, and gives local officials a formal say in facilities that affect their communities. It applies to any new ICE facility built after the law takes effect.
