Today I visited Delaney Hall as part of my congressional oversight duties, meeting with both those who run the facility and privately with people being held there.
After seeing who is being held and the conditions under which they’re detained, I believe most Americans would agree that this facility is a moral stain on our community.
In fact, the majority of the people we encountered have NO criminal charges or the kind of violence or criminality that Donald Trump said he was going to be focusing his attention on. This is unacceptable to me.
I’ll keep demanding this facility be closed now and to end this administration’s chaotic and cruel immigration policy. I will not vote to give another dollar to ICE.
.@MacFarlaneNews is right telling us how "they are closing down a part of our life when they close down CBS News radio, greatest practioners in the history of the medium.” They TOLD us news for 99 yrs, didn't yell or spread misinfo. The hard-right Ellisons don't want that anymore
@gtconway3d Great George, thank you. What is your specific position on all the other big issues going on? Please don’t sabotage your running by being only anti trump. 🙏🏼
An emotional and moving concert inside the Monroe County Jail as incarcerated individuals collaborated with @EastmanSchool students to create and perform unique musical pieces.
This partnership is one of the many rehabilitative services offered to those looking to make a positive change in their lives.
ICE violently detain yet another U.S. citizen—refuse to even look at his ID.
3 agents tackle man and injure his face—drag him away to unmarked car.
"He's not even an immigrant!" witness yell. "He's from here!"
"Why y'all kidnapping him for?"
Agents refused to give their badge numbers, show ID, or give any explanation.
"Take your mask off... why are you so scared?"
Incident occurred in Brooklyn, New York.
It is *fact*, not feeling or opinion, that when you don't know anything about what's happening in this country, you vote Republican. If you're informed, you vote Democratic.
That's been true for nearly the whole of my lifetime, not as a matter of rhetoric but a matter of *fact*.
@StephenMoore@wxbywilliams Good, enjoy being in a red state that’s in the bottom 10 for education, healthcare, women’s rights, poverty, infrastructure, poor water, air and water quality. 👍🏼

About Dept of Homeland Security shutdown, the American Federation of Govt Employees says,
"It speaks volumes about the House’s priorities and sense of urgency in 2026 that it has been in session only 66 days this year, even as the funding lapse at DHS approaches 70 days – by far the longest shutdown of any federal agency in history. Surely House leaders can find 40 minutes.."
