What it does
The bill tells the Department of Homeland Security to build an online system. People held by ICE and CBP can use it to report health neglect. Independent health experts review the complaints.

Who it affects
People held by ICE and CBP can use the system. Health experts hired to review complaints are affected. Language service companies are affected.
One thing to notice
