The bill would bar federal funds from supporting or helping operate or expand CECOT, a maximum-security prison in Tecoluca, El Salvador. It would also prohibit federal funding for detention costs in El Salvador for people transported there from the United States, regardless of their immigration status. Unspent federal funds already obligated for these purposes would be permanently rescinded. Within 90 days of enactment, the Secretary of State would have to report to Congress on related funding and agreements and provide a plan to reallocate or return the rescinded funds.
The bill does not describe a direct effect on the public. It would restrict federal funding connected to CECOT and to detention in El Salvador of people transported from the United States.
The bill gives no dollar amount. It would prohibit federal funding for the listed purposes and permanently rescind unspent balances already obligated for them.
The bill's findings cite reports of inhumane conditions, lack of due process, and violations of international standards for detainees. They say continued financial assistance could conflict with human rights standards upheld by the United States and its international partners.
