Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to let Members of Congress into any facility used by or for the Department of Homeland Security to detain or house immigrants, without delay or obstruction, to carry out oversight. "Without delay" is defined as immediate admission without waiting outside the facility. Members of Congress would not have to give advance notice before entering. Private contractors running these facilities would also have to follow the rule and certify that their staff are trained on it. If the department's inspector general finds a contractor did not comply, the Secretary would have to cancel the contractor's agreement or contract.
