  1. 01

    How should Congress balance giving the DOJ flexibility to designate new protected characteristics against the need for clear, legislated definitions of what detention practices are prohibited?

  2. 02

    What enforcement mechanisms would make this prohibition effective across federal, state, and local systems, and who should bear the costs of compliance monitoring?

  3. 03

    Does this bill's scope adequately address historical detention cases like those referenced in its title, or does it primarily prevent future detentions?
