Delaney Hall Closure Act

The Delaney Hall Closure Act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to stop all immigration detention operations at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey, within 90 days of the law's enactment. The bill prohibits the Department from entering into any new contracts or agreements to use this facility for detaining individuals in federal custody. Additionally, it mandates the termination of existing operational contracts for the center, limiting the government's financial liability to payments for services already rendered before the termination takes effect.
