Reshape Alternatives to Detention Act of 2024

This bill makes changes to the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program, terminating certain pilot programs, redirecting funds to detention beds, and imposing stricter requirements on aliens in immigration proceedings.

Sec. 2, Termination of certain programs: The Secretary of Homeland Security must end the Case Management Pilot program and the Young Adult Case Management program, and no substantially similar programs may be created or funded.

Sec. 3, Reprogramming of funds: Money already appropriated for the terminated programs must be used to increase the number of detention beds at immigration detention facilities.

Sec. 4, Placement in detention: The Secretary must promptly detain any individual who was released as part of the terminated programs.

Sec. 5, Limitation on participation: No alien may be released into any ATD program unless all available detention beds are filled.

Sec. 6, Clarification of ICE authority: Nothing in this bill limits U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's authority over any alien in an ATD program, including actions by the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

Sec. 7, GPS tracking: Every alien on the non-detained docket must be enrolled in the ATD program with mandatory GPS monitoring throughout immigration proceedings and until removal.

Sec. 8, Family Expedited Removal Management: Aliens who entered or attempted to enter the U.S. illegally as part of a family unit must participate in the Family Expedited Removal Management program.

Sec. 9, Notice of violation: If an ATD participant violates a condition and becomes eligible for detention, the Secretary must immediately publish notice and transmit it to relevant law enforcement agencies.

Sec. 10, Movement to sanctuary jurisdiction: Aliens in or eligible for ATD cannot reside in a jurisdiction that restricts immigration enforcement cooperation. If they move there without prior notice, the Secretary must detain them.

Sec. 11, Check-in required for ISAP participants: Within 45 days, the Secretary must require covered aliens (those in the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program) to check in within 14 days. Failure results in bond revocation, rearrest, and detention, with expedited removal proceedings and strict appeal timelines.

Sec. 12, Requirement to submit biometric information: Aliens arriving in the U.S. must provide biometric information to be eligible for ATD. This data must be stored to allow matching with other law enforcement databases.

Sec. 13, Definitions: Terms follow the Immigration and Nationality Act, with 'covered alien' defined as an alien in the ISAP on enactment, and ISAP includes GPS monitoring and telephonic reporting.
