renewing his call to end use of BOP facilities for immigration detention
Dan Goldman will continue calling to end the use of Bureau of Prisons facilities for immigration detention.
Occurrences
Evidence
May 22, 2026: "Following his most recent oversight visit to the ICE detention facility in the Metropolitan Detention Center, Representative Dan Goldman is slamming conditions at the facility ... and demanding that ICE leadership commit to immediate changes while renewing his call to end use of BOP facilities for immigration detention."
February 23, 2026: Goldman sent a letter to DHS, ICE, and BOP demanding answers about over 191 ICE detainees at MDC Brooklyn and describing poor conditions and barriers to medical care, counsel, and interpreters.
July 10, 2025: Goldman sent an oversight letter to the Bureau of Prisons demanding answers on an agreement with ICE to house more than 100 immigration detainees at MDC Brooklyn and demanded that BOP immediately suspend all transfers to MDC and any other unsafe BOP facility.
Assessments
The promise is to continue calling for an end to the use of Bureau of Prisons facilities for immigration detention, not to actually end the practice. The evidence shows Goldman repeatedly did exactly that during the same term: he renewed the call publicly in May 2026 and took oversight actions and sent letters in February 2026 and July 2025 pressing BOP, ICE, and DHS over the practice. Because the commitment was about continued advocacy and he demonstrably continued making that call, the promise was fulfilled even though the underlying policy change had not yet occurred.
