KIDS Act

Summary

The bill limits the Department of Homeland Security’s power to detain minors, individuals with cognitive disabilities, and their primary caregivers, requiring parental notice and congressional reporting. It also defines a broad list of "sensitive locations"—schools, hospitals, places of worship, disaster shelters, etc.—where immigration enforcement may not occur without a court‑issued criminal warrant. The goal is to protect vulnerable people and keep immigration actions out of places where families and children gather.
