Occurrences

Today, Reps. LaMonica McIver (NJ-10), Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12), and Rob Menendez (NJ-08) will introduce the No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act... Specifically, the bill demands that members of Congress be granted immediate access to detention facilities, without having to give prior notice, in order to carry out their oversight responsibilities and places liability for noncompliance on private contractors.

Watson Coleman is joining the introduction of legislation that would require immediate congressional access to ICE and DHS detention facilities and impose liability on contractors that obstruct oversight.

Evidence

Watson Coleman's office said she and Reps. McIver and Menendez would introduce the No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act. The release says the bill would require DHS to let members of Congress conduct oversight in detention facilities without obstruction or delay, grant immediate access, and hold contractors liable for noncompliance.

Official office release confirms Watson Coleman co-led introduction of the promised detention-oversight bill with immediate access and contractor-liability provisions.

The official release states that Watson Coleman, McIver, and Menendez introduced the No Delay for Immigrant Oversight Act and describes its core terms: immediate access to detention facilities, no obstruction or delay in oversight visits, and accountability for private operators that do not comply.

Another official House source corroborates the bill's introduction and its exact oversight-access and contractor-accountability requirements.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was to introduce and support legislation requiring DHS to provide immediate, unobstructed congressional access to detention facilities and to hold noncompliant contractors liable. Official House releases state that Watson Coleman co-led introduction of the No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act with those provisions on May 12, 2026, while she was serving in the same federal office. Because the promised action was introduction/support of legislation rather than enactment, this counts as delivered in the same term.

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was to introduce and support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. The evidence shows Watson Coleman co-led introduction of the No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act during her current House term, and the described bill matches the promised substance: immediate, unobstructed congressional access to DHS detention facilities and liability/accountability for noncompliant contractors or private operators. Because she materially advanced the specific legislative vehicle promised, this counts as delivered in the same term.
