Federal judges have barred Donald Trump’s administration from turning away members of Congress who show up at immigration detention centers, where detainees have alleged inhumane conditions, lack of access to lawyers and lengthy stays inside prison-like cells.
But on their latest visit, lawmakers were handed a new memo that requires them to “specifically identify” who they’re meeting with — and give at least a two-day notice.
“The best, most transparent form of oversight is when you don’t announce that you’re coming,” Democratic Rep. Mike Levin told The Independent after he was barred from speaking with detainees inside California’s Otay Mesa Detention Center near the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday.

So you get a bunch of guys with guns say ‘you are deputized by congress here’s thebpaperwork’ and shoot what you gotta shoot to get in.
Then because you’re a dem, look around take notes and leave without opening cages.
That fucking stupid part. Congress cant be turned away. Show up with people to arrest anyone who denies you entrance.
Congress ain’t arrested anyone blocking them from inspecting federal buildings yet.
Because they’re all performative cowards owned by the fascist Epstein class.
the thing in this story can’t happen
Oh this story isn’t true then?
arrest
Nah.
Start making arrests already!
Homeland Security officials have repeatedly defended the level of care provided to detained immigrants while also claiming that “detention is a choice” as officials urge immigrants to “self-deport.”
Fuck. You.
