Members of Congress have been prevented from entering facilities housing immigrants, including children. Others have been required to give 48 hours notice to attempt to enter a facility.
What about a law that says, a Member of Congress may not be prevented from entering any detention facility for the purpose of conducting oversight. Or how about, a Member of Congress, shall not be required to provide notice of intent to enter a detention facility for the purpose of conducting oversight. How about H. R. 3868, a bill introduced by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and others. The words above come directly from the bill. You can check to see if your member of congress is a co-sponsor of the bill by calling 202-224-3121 and ask for your Member of Congress’ office.
You might be very surprised how many Congress members are NOT co-sponsors.
