'I'm An United States Senator': Ed Markey Visits ICE Facility In Maine After Shooting

Published | Video Starts at 00:15

I'm about to visit an ICE facility in the aftermath of the killing of Juan Guerrero by ice. Agents Nguyen. Yes. I'm United States Senator Ed Markey from the State of Massachusetts. Under the United States Code, I am allowed to be able to make an inspection of an ICE facility without any notice under the statute which gives any member of Congress the authorization to visit an ICE facility without any notice. So it could be a full and clear examination of conditions as they exist without any preparation by ICE officers. Checking back in much later in the day in Biddeford. (00:15–00:30)

CLAIM

Asserts that U.S. law allows members of Congress to inspect ICE facilities without notice.
