NO.
rgvag11 said:
Why do you falsely believe that everyone at an ICE facility are dangerous people?
No. Members of congress can, not their staff, nor protestors, nor the local mayor, nor the media. All were in tow. Further, members of congress have to work through the process and procedure which includes checking in, being escorted through the secure area, and being searched. They then have to be escorted at all times in the facility.rgvag11 said:
I saw ICE agent manhandling a public representative, not the other way around.
Public reps can visit an ICE facility at any time -- they are not beholden to an 'advance notice' requirement. Surprise is the point.

Why are you going so hard on defending these people? For some insane reason, your side has decided to that standing with rapists, murderers, drug dealers/runners, and gang members is the way to go.
If a DHS (executive branch) process is the issue, why not raise that via legislation or administratively/in hearings?rgvag11 said:

NO.
Members of Congress cannot break the law in the name of “oversight.” All members and staff need to comply with facility rules, procedures, and instructions from ICE personnel on site.

I've heard the same thing from lifelong Democrats. I've had one of my closest lifelong Republican friends start criticizing the administration for it's immigration policy, and I never saw it coming, saying "This is not what I voted for."
Then your friend isn't a Republican. Only liberals want to keep illegals in this country.rgvag11 said:Prosperdick said:Shhhh.

Your friend sounds like one of the few that still consume legacy media. By all means, this really is a winning issue for Dems, I hope this is their platform for the '26 mid-terms.

Who gives a damn if they're dangerous or not? They are here ILLEGALLY and they need to be removed. This is exactly what I voted for.rgvag11 said:

Per ICE, the detainees at this facility are 75% convicted felons already and/or have current felony charges against them. The balance are believed to be gang members.rgvag11 said:

Rachel Campos Duffy Tours NJ ICE Facility - Site of Friday's Congressional Melee
— DogeWatchReport (@DogeWatchReport) May 12, 2025
🔹Phones Available with consulate phone numbers
🔹Detainees can request to self-deport with free flight & $1000 cash payout
🔹Facility is clean, has recreation options pic.twitter.com/aDCVL9Pf2g
Quote:
But what were they trying to reveal? A hideous dungeon where ICE agents abused and tortured detainees? A rat-infested, inhumane operation stuffed to the gills with starving prisoners?
They would have been disappointed, as Fox News correspondent Rachel Campos-Duffy revealed on Monday when she aired a segment from that very same facility. She did something before arriving that those Democrats weren't smart enough to think of: she made an appointment.
…
What she found was not all that dastardly after all:Quote:
"I came over to the ICE detention facility. I received the tour Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,a representative out of New York, is going to receive a few hours from now," Campos-Duffy told "Fox and Friends" co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt, Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade. "This is what I saw: ICE has nothing to hide. They have nothing to be ashamed of. This facility is so clean. It has, you know, all kind of recreation facilities, outdoor soccer field, weight equipment, domino tables. It has telephones everywhere with signs next to them of how they can, phone numbers to reach their consulate and also legal facilities, computer web cams."
ILLEGAL is still illegal.rgvag11 said:
"According to court records, only 1.17% of FY 2025 new cases sought deportation orders based on any alleged criminal activity of the immigrant, apart from possible illegal entry."

It really is that simple.
Unfortunately, liberals are doing everything they can to trick people into thinking that we can't deport non-violent illegals. How so many people fall for it is beyond me. I have no idea why the average "normie" liberal wants these illegals here taking up housing and tax dollars.

My thoughts on the average liberal - despite their disbelief in God, and religion in general - they are the product of a Christian culture which has subsequently become therapized resulting in nonjudgmentalism and empathy being the highest regard and any kind of punishment/consequences is equated with cruelty.Quote:

24-hour advance notice just allows people to hide stuff. Nobody should take the requirement of advance notice seriously unless you are a partisan hack that doesn't care about people's constitutional rights and the constitutional duty of congress to provide oversight.

It holds hardened criminals under high security. You don't just allow people to walk in because they want to.
ICE detainment is considered civil detention, meaning it's not meant to be a punishment for a crime but rather to ensure individuals' presence for immigration proceedings or removal from the United States.
Don't care.rgvag11 said:
