I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

The good news is that SIX seasoned federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned rather than engage in a bogus 'investigation' of Renee Good and her wife rather than investigating Good's killer.
The bad news is that there are now six fewer honest, dedicated federal prosecutors with DOJ.
