Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires data collection, family unity/nursery programs, pregnancy-related health services, education, evaluations, and prohibitions on restrictive housing for pregnant women, explicitly applying these mandates to facilities and custody of CBP, ICE, and ORR in addition to BOP. These provisions add standards and oversight but do not expand or restrict the underlying scope of immigration enforcement, detention authority, or transport itself.
