I’m going to keep pushing for access and transparency inside these detention facilities, and make sure the people inside are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. Rep. Gomez will continue conducting oversight and advocating for transparency and humane treatment inside detention facilities.

Evidence
"After clergy were denied entry on Ash Wednesday, Rep. Gomez’s office engaged ICE officials, elevated formal requests, and continued pushing for access in the days leading up to Good Friday. As a result, four clergy members were permitted to enter the facility" and "I’m going to keep pushing for access and transparency inside these detention facilities."
Assessments
The evidence shows Gomez actively used his congressional office to press ICE for detention-facility access after clergy were denied entry, elevated formal requests, and helped secure clergy access to the downtown Los Angeles ICE detention facility during the same federal term. That materially advances the promised oversight/access goal, but the promise is broad and ongoing: it commits to continued access, transparency, and oversight of detention facilities generally, not just one access episode. This supports partial fulfillment with clear effort rather than full delivery of the broader transparency and oversight outcome.
