What this amendment would do

Mr. Kim submitted SA 2496, which is an amendment meant to be added to the bill H.R. 1. Put simply, the purpose of this amendment is to stop the Department of Homeland Security from using any of its funding to block members of Congress and their staff from doing their jobs.

Holding Officials Accountable

  • It aims to make sure that the Department of Homeland Security cannot use money to stop a Member of Congress and an accompanying employee from entering facilities without advanced notice.

  • This rule applies to any facility operated or used by the department to detain or house aliens, which specifically includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol detention facilities, and field offices.

  • The stated reason for entering these facilities is to conduct oversight.
