To prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from entering into, modifying, extending, or renewing, any contract or intergovernmental service agreement to establish or operate any new immigration detention model, including the use of warehouses, modular facilities, soft-sided structures, tent systems, and processing centers.

• Families and detained people: Would stop construction or conversion of large-scale detention sites that the bill links to overcrowding, medical neglect, rights violations, and transfers. The findings cite 33 deaths in 2025 and 13 deaths so far in 2026.
• DHS components and operations: Would bar the Department of Homeland Security, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, from establishing, expanding, converting, renovating, or operating new detention models or nontraditional facilities.
• Local communities: Would prevent expansions that the bill says drive increased surveillance, strain water and electricity, harm public health, and foreclose other local economic uses.
• Funding and contractors: Would forbid obligating, expending, or transferring available federal amounts to build or operate these models and directs those obligations toward services such as affordable health care and housing.

*Would block roughly $38.3 billion in DHS plans to acquire and retrofit warehouses into detention centers and redirect those obligations to civilian services like health care and housing.*
