To prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from constructing, acquiring, renovating, or operating any new processing site or detention center without providing a mechanism for public comments regarding such activity, entering into a signed, written agreement with appropriate State and local officials, and providing Congress with advance notice of such activity.
Why?
Every bill carries a core record (title, sponsor, latest action) that Concord fetches up front. The detailed sections — cosponsors, action history, subjects, titles, and summaries — live behind separate Congress.gov endpoints, so they're fetched on demand rather than for all 50,000+ bills at once. Until a bill has been enriched, those sections stay empty.
