Plain-English Summary
State governors would gain the authority to inspect immigration detention facilities within their borders to check on health and safety conditions, and would be required to report their findings to Congress. This would allow governors to directly oversee how detained immigrants are being treated in facilities located in their states, rather than relying solely on federal inspections. The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability regarding conditions in these detention centers.
