    Sec. 530. (a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
available to the Department of Homeland Security by this Act may be 
used to prevent any of the following persons from entering, for the 
purpose of conducting oversight, any facility operated by or for the 
Department of Homeland Security used to detain or otherwise house 
aliens, or to make any temporary modification at any such facility that 
in any way alters what is observed by a visiting Member of Congress or

absence of such modification:
            (1) A Member of Congress.
            (2) An employee of the United States House of 
        Representatives or the United States Senate designated by such

    (b) Subsection (a) shall not apply with respect to a pregnant 
noncitizen if--
            (1) an appropriate official of the Department of Homeland 
        Security makes an individualized determination that the 
        noncitizen--
                    (A) is a serious flight risk, and such risk cannot 
                be prevented by other means; or
                    (B) poses an immediate and serious threat to harm 
                themselves or others that cannot be prevented by other

        pregnant noncitizen determines that the use of therapeutic 
        restraints is appropriate for the medical safety of the 
        noncitizen.
    (c) If a pregnant noncitizen is restrained pursuant to subsection 
(b), only the safest and least restrictive restraints, as determined by 
the appropriate medical professional treating the noncitizen, may be 
used. In no case may restraints be used on a noncitizen who is in 
active labor or delivery, and in no case may a pregnant noncitizen be 
restrained in a face-down position with four-point restraints, on their
