These wackos spend more time attempting to visit detained illegal aliens than (for photo ops) than talking to their own constituents, as well as visiting disaster areas
In May, the Arizona representative Yassamin Ansari toured a detention facility where immigrants rounded up as part of the Trump administration’s campaign of mass deportation were being housed. She described what she saw inside as “sickening” and “worse than prison” – immigrant detainees were held in overcrowded, moldy cells and many reported that they did not have reliable access to food, water or medical care.
Two months later, Ansari returned to the remote desert complex to conduct another congressional oversight visit. This time, she was denied entry.
It wasn’t an isolated incident. From New York to California, Democratic members of Congress have been repeatedly blocked from entering Ice detention facilities where thousands of noncitizens – many with no criminal convictions – are being held.
Democratic officials’ legislative checks – a legal right for members of Congress – have consistently confirmed reports that immigrant detainees are being kept in “filthy” and “inhumane” conditions with little regard for due process. Now, the facilities have become a battleground in the intensifying standoff between the Trump administration and Democratic lawmakers over the president’s supercharged immigration agenda.
“The administration’s goal is to intimidate us and bully us, bully us out of doing our jobs for sure,” Representative LaMonica McIver, a New Jersey Democrat who has been accused of assaulting federal agents during a confrontation at the Delaney Hall detention center, told the Guardian. “If they can get away with doing this to me, they can get away with doing it to anyone. But more importantly, imagine what they’re doing in the dark to others who are not of an elected status, who are not in public eye view.”
ICE has a message back
(Denver7) ICE on Tuesday pushed back on those claims in a statement to Denver7 political reporter Brandon Richard.
“To be honest, we could have written the congressional delegation’s press statements well in advance of the tour, given this tired tactic from the open borders Democrats – tour a facility, make up lies about it after,” ICE Assistant Director of Public Affairs Emily Covington said. “Accusations that ICE is denying access or hiding conditions at our detention centers [are] completely absurd, and we have the receipts to prove it.”
“Further, these members should know that demanding special treatment that breaks long-standing policies, and jeopardizes privacy, security and safety will not be considered.”
ICE’s statement claimed the lawmakers were 10 minutes late for the tour, and that they protested the facility’s cell phone policy the lawmakers were made aware of six days prior. The agency shared with Denver7 a screengrab of what appears to be an email dated Aug. 5 that outlines the rules of the tour, including the cell phone policy.
First, there’s a whole process to visit ICE facilities, and Democrats have been often blowing that off, and just showing up, rather than going through channels to set up the visit, which is what was always done and the rules to visit a detention facility (which they didn’t bother with during Biden’s term). Then they try and play games, like mentioned above, and like the time which ended with Excitable Monica getting charged with “assaulting, resisting, impeding and interfering” with federal officers.

Later this summer, a fluorescent reddish-pink spiral will bloom across the Wilkinson Basin in the Gulf of Maine, about 40 miles northeast of Cape Cod. Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will release the nontoxic water tracer dye behind their research vessel, where it will unfurl into a half-mile wide temporary plume, bright enough to catch the attention of passing boats and even satellites.
President Trump’s use of federal resources to combat crime in the nation’s capital is forcing Democrats to once again address the issue of law and order, something that has been a vulnerability for them in recent elections.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency moved to end its contract with unionized employees, according to the union’s president, the latest action in President Donald Trump’s push to weaken collective bargaining across the federal government.

I spent April and May this year travelling across Nepal – prime trekking season and often billed as the “best time to visit”. Almost every online guide promised clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Instead, I found hazy polluted air and low visibility, especially at lower elevations. Early monsoons swept across the country, briefly clearing the smoke but replacing it with downpours I hadn’t prepared for. The gap between expectation and reality was jarring.
