=No change to immigration enforcementmodel confidence 80%
Imposes detailed health, hygiene, medical, and safety standards on state-run or contracted immigration detention facilities at the border, with contract requirements, legislative reporting, inspections, and civil enforcement via injunction, so more regulated and accountable detention operations.
The department shall ensure a detention facility: (1) provides each detainee with access to: (A) clean water, functional and sanitary restroom facilities, and showers at all times; (B) medical professionals, including advanced practice registered nurses and physicians, if the detainee is experiencing illness or a medical emergency; and (C) necessary vaccinations and medical screenings on the detainee's intake in the facility;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds standards for conditions, medical care, hygiene, and oversight in immigration detention facilities operated or contracted by the Texas military/department at the border, plus enforcement mechanisms; this regulates but does not clearly expand or restrict the scope of state immigration detention or enforcement authority itself.
