Me negaron la entrada al Centro de Detención de Otay Mesa para realizar una visita de supervisión después de recibir denuncias preocupantes sobre las condiciones ahí. Seguiré luchando para impedir que el ICE aterrorice a nuestras comunidades. Esto no puede continuar.

I was blocked from entering Otay Mesa Detention Center today to conduct oversight after receiving concerning allegations about conditions there. We've heard reports that detainees are throwing notes over the fences asking for help.
