Dossier Legislative introduced 16-jul-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

To require certain protections for any dependent child whose parent is a detained alien, and for other purposes.

Key claim: HR9745 would require certain protections for any dependent child whose parent is a detained alien.

Abstract

(HR9745 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-16): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Why this matters

Detention of a parent can leave dependent children without care arrangements or contact, an ongoing gap in enforcement practice that this bill attempts to formalize. Tracking the proposal helps show how Congress is (or is not) codifying child welfare safeguards into immigration detention procedures affecting mixed-status families.
