What this amendment would do

SA 4300, submitted by Mr. Warnock, aims to restrict how funds are used for certain detention centers in Georgia and ensure environmental compliance.

The amendment seeks to add the following to H.R. 7147:

  • It prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from using funds from this Act, Public Law 119-21, or any other Act for the acquisition, construction, renovation, or expansion of U.S. Immigration and Enforcement detention centers in Social Circle, Georgia or Oakwood, Georgia, unless Congress explicitly authorizes it.

  • It requires any acquisition, construction, or expansion of facilities for the detention of noncitizens in Social Circle, Georgia or Oakwood, Georgia by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to follow all applicable environmental laws and inspection requirements.

  • These requirements specifically include:

    • The completion of an environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
    • Site assessments required under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980.
