**Immediate congressional access to immigration detention facilities** would be required so Members can oversee detainee treatment and legal compliance. It frames oversight as a tool to protect humane treatment, civil rights, and adherence to detention standards. - Members of Congress would be admitted to any facility used by or for the Department of Homeland Security to detain noncitizens immediately when they present congressional identification.
