US Rep. Dan Goldman announced Wednesday that he has introduced an amendment to President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” aimed at preventing ICE from barring Members of Congress from inspecting facilities where immigrants are being detained.
Goldman says the amendment would ensure funding from the officially named Reconciliation Bill would not be used to prevent congressional oversight at any location or facility related to civil enforcement of immigration law. This would also prevent ICE from quickly altering detention centers just prior to inspections, nor would it require the elected officials to announce their inspection in order to be granted entry.
