Confrontations are playing out nationwide as lawmakers conduct checks of facilities where thousands are being held

From New York to California, Democratic members of Congress have been repeatedly blocked from entering Ice detention facilities where thousands of noncitizens – many with no criminal convictions – are being held.

Democratic officials’ legislative checks – a legal right for members of Congress – have consistently confirmed reports that immigrant detainees are being kept in “filthy” and “inhumane” conditions with little regard for due process. Now, the facilities have become a battleground in the intensifying standoff between the Trump administration and Democratic lawmakers over the president’s supercharged immigration agenda.

    Sanders, is that the dinosaur you push despite saying you want old white mean out of politics? I remember him, he’s the guy who can’t win even the support of dems so he had no hope of winning a general election

    Anyways im just a non American indigenous person watching you morons burn the world down, because of what another country is doing to another nation across the planet. This shows even the American left loves to play world police instead of fixing their own dumpster fire. You guys only cheapen a movement like aid for gaza, stfu and get in the back of the line Americans, better yet go deal with your fascist government

        Indigenous people can’t move or get on planes right? We brown Indians never migrate or move to Canada as a refugee cause American blew up our house right? Never happens! Everyone stays in the country they were born in, that’s why you guys call us wetbacks and border jumpers when we try. Racist prick

      This is a funny statement, because it could technically describe Prince Andrew.
