Unlikely to pass

This bill was introduced by a small group of lawmakers and faces a long road through committees. Without broad support from both parties, it is unlikely to move forward.

Key Points

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security and private companies to let Members of Congress into immigration detention centers immediately. Lawmakers would not have to give any warning or notice before they show up to inspect a facility.
The plan aims to stop delays that have reportedly happened when lawmakers try to check on how detainees are being treated. It defines without delay as being let in right away without having to wait outside the building.
Private companies that run these centers would have to train their workers on these new rules. If a company refuses to let a lawmaker in, the government could cancel their contract and stop doing business with them.
Supporters say this is necessary to make sure detention centers are following the law and treating people humanely. It ensures that the people we elect can see exactly what is happening inside these taxpayer-funded buildings.
