Some of them have moved their goal posts so many times they don't even know what they've become. If they ever wake up they will find themselves in a very, very dark place.

Anyone still saying "I voted for this" after reading the post below can fuck right off into their black hole.

Can we please stop ICE refusing entry to members of Congress to Illinois detention facilities so that Congress can do their legally approved oversight in order to prevent horrors like this from happening to any detainees in our state?
Does ICE run the country or does Congress still own their power?
Screen shot of a post written by John Favreau: Is this what you wanted, @StephenM? A mother who was 5 months pregnant - who'd just found out she and her American citizen fiancee were having a boy - lost her baby after federal agents in a detention center repeatedly denied her pleas for prenatal care. Lived and worked in Tennessee for years. Detained by ICE for over a month. Forced to sleep on a prison cell floor. Served food with cockroaches. Said she was starving and having stomach pains. Guards told her it was normal. Begged to be deported so at least she could get prenatal care in Guatemala. ICE refused. She delivered her stillborn baby in front of two guards who shackled her feet. Then, for two days, she wasn't allowed to call her fiancee or talk to anyone. She cried alone, and was deported to Guatemala shortly after the stillbirth. DHS has only said they'd review the case. "Worst of the worst," right @TriciaOhio?

Can you sue ICE for not allowing members of Congress to perform their oversight duties in detention facilities so they can discover and prevent horrors like the one described below from happening? What other horrors are they hiding?
Does ICE run the country, or does Congress still own their power?

Why is Congress just "obeying" ICE telling them they aren't allowed to do their job? Oversight is needed, as the story below sadly shows. How many more horror stories don't you know about? Does ICE run the country now? Congress, stop giving up your power! @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co @nadler.house.gov

He set this up a long time ago. Of course that's their plan.
