I am praying for the deceased and his family, and I will keep working to shut down Delaney Hall and abolish ICE before more innocent lives are lost.

Within the lookback window, NJ 101.5 reported that state health inspectors were scheduled for an "interim inspection" of Delaney Hall on September 4, 2026, after prior blocked access. The article states GEO Group operates Delaney Hall under contract with ICE.

GovInfo bill text shows Rep. LaMonica McIver introduced H.R. 8754, the No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act, to require DHS and contractors to grant members of Congress immediate, unobstructed access to covered detention facilities and cancel noncompliant facility contracts.
Assessments
McIver materially pursued the issue in her current House term by introducing H.R. 8754, which would strengthen congressional access to immigration detention facilities and penalize noncompliant DHS contractors. That is a serious same-term legislative effort tied to Delaney Hall and ICE oversight, but it would not itself shut down Delaney Hall or abolish ICE. Available evidence also shows Delaney Hall remained operating under an ICE contract as of September 2026, and ICE has not been abolished. The promised outcome was therefore not delivered, with effort credit.
