Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Remember Nory and her mom Estela? Here’s the devastating update.
ICE took Estela’s blood pressure meds when they deported her. She was too afraid to leave home for refills because the same gangs that beat her in Guatemala were still waiting.
She died at 45 because she didn’t have her medication.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

ICE is about to get access to Medicaid records—a HIPAA violation.
Quick facts:
Undocumented immigrants don’t get full Medicaid. They only qualify for emergency care like childbirth or life-threatening treatment.
States like CA & NY offer limited coverage, but its’s state-funded, not federal.

This is patently false.
DHS has authority to question and search people coming into the country at points of entry.
But ICE may not detain and question anyone without reasonable suspicion — and certainly not based on their physical appearance alone.
This lawlessness must stop.
