H.R. 8494 was introduced in the House on April 23, 2026. The measure text matches the claim’s substance, including prohibiting DHS from entering into, modifying, extending, or renewing contracts or IGSAs for new immigration detention models such as warehouses, modular facilities, soft-sided structures, tent systems, and processing centers.

Direct introduction of the claimed policy language in bill form; this is concrete action toward the claim but not enactment or final adoption.

April McClain Delaney’s member page lists H.R. 7470, a related immigration detention bill introduced on February 10, 2026, showing a pattern of sponsoring detention-related restrictions; however, the page does not show enactment of the later H.R. 8494 claim within the lookback window.

Related prior detention-related sponsorship shows sustained legislative effort, but does not itself deliver the specific claim.
