ICE has refused to allow me to conduct congressional oversight of the 10th floor at 26 Fed despite reports of inhumane conditions.
Despite ICE’s blanket denials, we now have video of the inside — confirming the reports of terrible conditions.
Now we know why they are denying our access.

Two videos offer the first glimpse inside the detention site on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where dozens of immigrants are being held for days at a time, according to an analysis by THE CITY of ICE data through the end of June.

The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.
