Congressman McDowell introduces the ALCATRAZ Act to expand state-run detention facilities for illegal aliens and reallocate funds.
Quiver AI Summary
Congressman Addison McDowell has introduced the Accelerated Logistics and Coordination for Arresting, Transporting, and Removing Aliens Zones (ALCATRAZ) Act, aimed at enhancing state-run detention facilities for undocumented immigrants by reallocating funds from what he describes as wasteful Biden-era spending. The Act proposes a new Detention and Logistics Program at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to support these facilities.
The legislation outlines several steps, including the transfer of funds from the Shelter and Services Program and mandates DHS to work with states to establish new detention centers. McDowell emphasizes that the ALCATRAZ Act will reduce reliance on more costly accommodations and streamline the deportation process for illegal aliens.
McDowell, along with co-sponsors, argues that the proposed legislation is necessary to restore accountability to the immigration system and to ensure that resources are better allocated for border security and enforcement. The bill has garnered support from several congressional peers who echo similar sentiments regarding the need for improved immigration policy and detention capacity.
