Rep. Pettersen Introduces Bill to End Long-Term Detention at Temporary ICE Holding Cells
U.S. Representative Brittany Pettersen (CO-07) ... introduced a bill to prohibit ICE from holding individuals for extended periods in temporary holding cells that are not intended for long-term detention.
Evidence
Pettersen's official House homepage listed a June 12 press-release teaser titled "Rep. Pettersen Introduces Bill to End Long-Term Detention at Temporary ICE Holding Cells."
Pettersen's June 9 House press release said she voted against a budget package funding ICE and noted that her recently introduced bills would bar ICE from converting warehouses, jails, or other facilities into immigration detention centers.
Assessments
Pettersen made a serious same-term attempt aligned with the promise by introducing legislation to end long-term detention at temporary ICE holding cells and by taking related votes against ICE expansion. But the evidence only shows bill introduction and advocacy, not enacted law, implemented policy, or an actual end to the detention practice. Under the stated rules, a substantial attempt without delivered outcome is scored as never, with effort credit.
