What I witnessed at the Mesa Gateway ICE holding facility was unacceptable. Detainees crammed into cells that were overcrowded at double the capacity. Sick people denied medical care. Women begging for sanitary napkins. The inhumanity is beyond the pale. Abolish ICE.

... The unannounced oversight visit ...

... Two Colorado congressmen have joined 10 other Democratic lawmakers in suing the Trump administration, claiming the federal government "secretly" reimposed a policy that blocks unannounced congressional visits to immigration detention centers.

The motion filed Monday by 12 Democrats, including Reps. Joe Neguse and Jason Crow of Colorado, asks the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to order the administration to explain "how this new policy is not a violation of federal law guaranteeing Members of Congress the ability to conduct oversight of ICE facilities."

The lawsuit comes nearly a month after a federal judge sided with the group of Democratic lawmakers who sued the administration last summer for blocking them from conducting unannounced visits. In her ruling, the judge said members of Congress could resume unannounced visits and tours of detention centers and field offices run by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including the ICE facility in Aurora. ...

"Within the Republican Party, from top to bottom, Trump has made cruelty and transgressiveness cool. And in the process, he killed American conservatism. MAGA is not just antithetical to conservatism; it is at war with it."

Those items may be missing, but sure as shootin' someone got paid to provide them, and got paid A LOT of US taxpayers' dough. One of these days those grifter, with no presidential pardon in hand, will be brought to justice. Assure this outcome by getting out to vote in November...
