Press Conference: Demanding Humane Conditions at ICE Facilities

Is there anything, I mean, can they legally keep members of Congress? Legally they cannot. And I don't know if you've seen, but many of those members have taken on a lawsuit because of this. I believe there's about a dozen members of Congress who have filed a lawsuit [because of being denied access to facilities]. which is great, and I hope that they are successful. It's very interesting, though, because we've noticed that there's no clear plan on the administration's end and DHS's end on this front. (21:46–21:51)
