Have the Democrats taken ICE and homeland to court yet regarding access to ice detention facilities?
Members of congress have every right to enter these.
Also when Republicans lose power they will whine and complain about oversight. Of course

ICE was caught on camera saying "you have no rights," and they are not kidding..

When Democrats win - What can Democrats do? When Democrats lose - What can Democrats do? Of course there are things Democrats can and should do! But where are Republicans to this narrative? 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐 People need to learn to say ‘Republicans’ because they are allowing this country to be destroyed! 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

Yes they have.
Have you met SCOTUS?

Are they lazy?

I’m disappointed with the Dems. So much that I changed to no party affiliation. They are weak & slow. All talk, no action. Schumer’s strongly worded Letters do no good. They are just as responsible for this mess as the republicans. I’m sickened by all of this!

Raskin lawsuit challenges congressional restrictions at ICE facilities
The lawsuit comes days after members of Maryland’s federal delegation were denied a tour of Baltimore’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office.
-
The courts are so far failing to meet the moment.
-
Nope. The most telling interview I've heard since Trump took office was a Representative turning up at an ICE facility, being turned away, acknowledging in the interview that the guard's action was unconstitutional and DHS is making rules up to obstruct and just complaining about it on the radio.
-
Same w unlawful detention, w the proportionality standards in the 8A. Why are these behaviors not being challenged? They could hardly be called frivolous. People are being hauled off even after declaring they have ID to prove citizenship.
This shit is insane.

Yes, a dozen Democrats in the House filed this lawsuit democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

NSA/CyberCommand has an awful lot of information on ICE, If you can think of any private attorneys able to handle it.... This stuff is quite complex to jurisdiction.
BB?
-
They don't have the spine to.
-
And I don't see any of them DEMANDING access. They go up to the fence, get rebuffed, and go home. See also: feckless.

Justin Crow says he and 12 others have filed suit.
-
Republicans are never going to give up power. They will burn us all to the ground first.

It wasn't all that long ago you were supporting him. You voted with Trump 90% of the time when he was in office the first time. It took him trying to destroy our democracy for you to snap out of it. Good for you for finally coming to your senses but you did support that monster for 4 years

Democrats
-
Thank you for saying ‘when’. I’ve almost given up hope.
-
I feel the dems can't multitask
-
Yes, they filed last week, it was on the news.
-
Yes, Adam, I believe they are doing that.
-
Yes, according to the NYT, a lawsuit was filed last week by 12 House Democrats for being denied entry: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/u...
House Democrats Sue ICE for Barring Them From Detention Facilities

Unfortunately Adam, they seem so far behind they think they’re first
Thank you for your service 🫡

Wouldn't they have plenty of oversight while being incarcerated inside?

Yes. Keep up www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/...
'We're going to court': Democrats sue ICE for blocking them from detention facilities
A dozen House Democrats who were barred from visiting immigration detention facilities sued the Trump administration on Wednesday. Rep. Dan Goldman, D-NY, joins Morning Joe to discuss.
-
How dare democrats hold our Messiah responsible.
-
You know they have so why pose the question other than to spread disinformation?
-
The republicans are sheep, now they give the line that Donald J. Epstein can do that, say something without any proof. ALL JAGOFFS!!! Most voters are dipshit boomers who think they know everything! You know what I’m talking about if you know someone over 61. Not all but a higher percentage.
-
I’ve been a Dem since I started voting(threatening to go independent). I don’t get what game they’re playing. Whatever it is, it isn’t working. We’ve got to get down in the mud with them and fight. Going high does nothing when you’re dealing with humans with no souls.

That's why there won't be elections. Trump's not going to risk losing. He gave the whole thing away when he told his supporters vote him back in and they'd never have to vote again.
-
Sue them into oblivion!
-
-
Yes, 12 dems filed a lawsuit last Thursday.
-
there too many democrats that are not fucking angry.
-
Yes, by following protocols for a visit rather than seeking sound bytes and headlines. It's all a show because if they were so concerned they would have done the same under Biden or Obama. More feckless virtue signaling.
-
Yes.
-
The criminals should be forced to pay all the money they stole from tax payers!!
-
DEMs are wasting money on PAC consultants. One PAC received $238 million but spent only $11 million on actual impactful work.
DEMs should be using their money instead to take Trump's departments to court. This waste of money is truly a shame.
-
-
You know that they’ve sued for this.
You also know that you helped create this authoritarian monster.
Is that why you’re trying to blame Democrats? Because you won’t face your part in this?
-
what if they took US Capitol Police with them?
-
I received a mailing from the ACLU which said that they have sued ICE.
-
I think a group of Dems are suing the trump admin, ICE, they announced last week.
-
Name and shame, folks! Fuck these fascists. Dox them. Make them suffer for their crimes against humanity.
-
This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue! Private prisons are in business to make money. This is human trafficking. Nothing more nothing less. With the people are the customers of these illegal private prisons in business to make money. Congress passed a law that we can’t sue private prisons.
-
There is one woman who is but I can’t remember her name. Sorry.
-
Yes. Benny Thompson just filed.
-
If they did would it matter? No enforcement, no law.
-
I seriously wonder if the Dems are not home.
-
-
-
@padilla.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov Sounds like a good idea if not already in the works. It would be great to get some discovery as well about who issued the order to deny access.
-
@dscc.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social
Well? Have you?
-
I hope so. Their inability to fight back it seems is exactly why I just erase every text and email begging for $
-
THE PARTY of endless immorality and corruption—the Republicans—once again covers itself in un-American disgrace.
-
They should show up with armed law enforcement willing to enforce the law.
-
The Republicans will never publicly admit, they lost power. It will be the system was rigged by the Democrats.
-
You'll never see the real inside.

stern letters, angry statements, and regular appearances on Colbert
-
Dems are to busy bombarding donors for cash. Priorities 🙄
-
Honestly, Republicans' whining about oversight feels a lot like watching someone complain about traffic while they're literally the car that caused the pile-up.
-
Rescinding the federal funding for this hostage taking program is the first priority.
-
This is where we need a rapid response team. A lawsuit should’ve been filed immediately. Trump uses courts to intimidate people. Just do it.
-
Is there enough judges for all the court filings around this administration?
Just so they can go to scotus and they send it back or over rule.

C’mon, Kinzinger. You know they have. And you know the courts are siding with this unconscionable administration more often than not. Trying to spin this as a failure of Democratic leadership is victim blaming. Which seems to be the stock and trade of the GOP.
-
I think Adam is missing the big picture—it kind of feels like the Constitution is whatever the people in control of the military & six people in black robes say it is, & he’s focused on time consuming court battles. Meanwhile, I’m wondering if 2026 will be an election year or violent regime change.
-
Yeah. I’ve seen this story a million times. Nobody ever gets closure when they are watching a waving hand.
-
You could have stopped with, “Have the Democrats?”
A few democrats have stepped up individually.
“The Democrats” have done nothing.
The answer is no unless the rest of the the question is, “hid under their desks”.
The answer to “Have the Democrats (anything)?” is no. They haven’t.
-
Well, there will be a lot of whining everywhere.
-
Your party is building these concentration camps and you helped them get there. You voted with 45 99% of the time.

'When they lose power' 😂 Denial is a powerful drug.
-
People hate democrats SO MUCH but it doesn’t seem like they care. Democrats are definitely corrupt and complicit with Trump. Democrats leadership are MAGA. Never forget never forgive how journalists and democrats let this happen to us!
-
I think they’ve given up; all talk, no play.
-
Why is your party creating concentration camps in the first place?
-
"them" is far right
-
Democrats need to grow a pair and take reinforcements with them to these.Diplomacy is dead and there’s no place for decorum in this current administration
-
Unfortunately, there’s gonna come a point when they’re just going to outright ignore court orders and invoke president Andrew Jackson’s response to the Supreme Court. They’re already practicing that response.
-
Have you NOT noticed what the MAGAtardia thinks of court orders?
Take Federal Marshals, armed with shotguns, with you, arrest anyone that gets in your way.
Don't be 'too careful' with their heads, putting them in the squad car.
-
Of course not because they are weak
-
Authoritarian Creed: Do as I say, not as I do; What’s okay for me, is not for you.
-
They're writing letters and doing podcasts.

For someone with such a large audience, you sure do JAQ off a lot and feel no responsibility to take five seconds to look shit up before you try to passive aggressively demoralize people against the only pro-democracy party in this country.
Are you used to outsourcing this work to interns?
-
of course they have
-
It's why they're working so hard to keep power.
-
They’re never going to give up power
-
Republicans view moral consistency as a weakness to be used against others.
-
ACLU have been a whole lot more proactive.
-
No Man will EVER ruin society again!
-
And what will happen when Trump and his cronies won’t follow the lawsuits if the lawsuits win? Because we all know he’s not going to listen. So what then?
-
And masks! Stop the GeStapo!
-
Excellent question. Also these new facilities being built on military basis…doesn’t trump say those arrested by ice are a threat to US security…. Sooooo you’re going to put them on a bunch of military bases so they can see everything the military is up to?
-
Democrats need to step up their game because they’re losing, bigly.
-
They have taken the DOJ to court about the arrests and Due process being ignored. And they are suing now about access: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OZ6...

Have the Republicans not created a secret police force with ICE and Homeland regarding people just trying to work in the US?
Members of congress have the right to not do this.
All those votes you had for Trump's policies (i.e. this), and you're going to pretend Democrats are to blame here?
Ha.
-
Forgiving student debt if you sign your soul away and join ICE?? 😡

👍🏻💙🇺🇸

-
“When they lose power”
That’s cute. Try “if”
It’s if they lose power
-
Yes. Several have sued. They’ve even posted about it here.
Why do I have to tell you to look these things up before you wonder out loud about whether or not they’re happening?
-
Yes, a few of them have. Based on recent SCROTUS decisions, I’m sure their cases (which will likely get immediate injunctions against DHS by lower courts) will be stayed “pending further adjudication of the merits.” 🤦♀️🤬
-
I was under the impression that the democratic party is dissolved and abandoned? If it is still an active party, who is their leader?
-
@markwarner.bsky.social you're out here every day talking about all the injustice and tyranny of the GOP. Care to comment?
-
Yea, why aren't they doing something about it? All they know how to do is ask for money. Tired of that bullshit!

Everything is a one-way street.
