What it does
The No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act would require the Secretary of Homeland Security and any federal contractors operating immigration detention facilities to grant Members of Congress immediate, unobstructed access for oversight purposes, without requiring prior notice. It applies to all facilities used to detain or house aliens under DHS authority and mandates that contractors certify their personnel are trained on these access requirements. Noncompliant entities risk having their DHS contracts canceled by the Secretary upon IG determination of violation. The bill affirms congressional oversight as a constitutional duty and seeks to prevent delays or impediments to lawful access to immigration detention facilities.
