Contact Congress about S. 634: Korematsu-Takai Civil Liberties Protection Act of 2025

The government couldn't lock someone up just because of their race, religion, gender identity, or other personal traits. These protections would be written into federal law, and no future administration could remove them.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Korematsu-Takai Civil Liberties Protection Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Latest action on S. 634: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Who this affects: This bill would protect everyone in the United States from being detained by the federal government solely because of their identity. It's especially relevant for racial, ethnic, and religious minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities who could face discriminatory detention.

Why this matters: This bill would create a clear legal rule against group-based detention in federal law. While the Constitution already offers some protections, this bill would give courts a specific, enforceable standard. It's rooted in the lessons of Japanese American internment and aims to prevent similar abuses in the future.

Key provisions in S. 634

  • Adds a new subsection to federal detention law (18 U.S.C. § 4001) focused on protecting people from detention based on who they are.
  • Lists eight protected characteristics: race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability.
  • Gives the Attorney General power to add more protected traits beyond the original eight.
  • Makes it illegal to imprison or detain anyone based solely on an actual or perceived protected characteristic.
  • Includes a lock-in rule: the Attorney General can never remove any of the eight listed characteristics.
