Today we were denied entry to an ICE facility in Baltimore where were exercising our oversight role as Members of Congress. The law is clear: ICE is REQUIRED to let us into these facilities.
They just don't want the American people to see what's happening behind closed doors.

They can’t!! They are receiving federal or state funds. Cut them off!! Stop their shit!!
Also, GOP just voted to give them $150 billion more for Trump’s Police State. So I’m not sure who you are telling to cut it off. Until we change GOP torture plan. No sign of that. Republican voters still support this insanity. Dems never did. Independents are coming around, but not “GOP base.”
We have discovered a problem in the system. Congress is supposed to have control of “the purse.” But literally, executive branch (=Trump) actually distributes it. Before DickTator Trump, POTUS followed the law & distributed appropriated funds. Now Trump has seized control of OUR $$ illegally. COUP!
