Congressmembers Nydia Velazquez and Adriano Espaillat faced access denial to a Lower Manhattan immigrant detention center. They emphasized their oversight responsibilities and expressed outrage over the lack of accountability surrounding ICE actions. During a press conference, Velazquez denounced the treatment of immigrants, arguing that apprehended individuals, who are following the law, often lose contact with their families. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about immigrant rights and government transparency, as they demand answers about what is occurring within federal facilities.
This is outrageous. The President of the United States is not a king, and we as members of Congress have the duly constitutional responsibility to exercise oversight in a place like this.
We know what's going on! They are apprehending people that are following the rules, people that disappear. They say goodbye to their families because they are coming here.
