Confrontations are playing out nationwide as lawmakers conduct checks of facilities where thousands are being held

From New York to California, Democratic members of Congress have been repeatedly blocked from entering Ice detention facilities where thousands of noncitizens – many with no criminal convictions – are being held.

Democratic officials’ legislative checks – a legal right for members of Congress – have consistently confirmed reports that immigrant detainees are being kept in “filthy” and “inhumane” conditions with little regard for due process. Now, the facilities have become a battleground in the intensifying standoff between the Trump administration and Democratic lawmakers over the president’s supercharged immigration agenda.

          the left constantly punching left

          Are Zionists and Bitcoin shills and McKinsey consultants and ex-CIA flacks on “the left”?

          refusing to accept anyone as an ally

          Mamdani, AOC, and Sanders have plenty of allies. None of them work at the Washington Post.

            Sanders, is that the dinosaur you push despite saying you want old white mean out of politics? I remember him, he’s the guy who can’t win even the support of dems so he had no hope of winning a general election

            Anyways im just a non American indigenous person watching you morons burn the world down, because of what another country is doing to another nation across the planet. This shows even the American left loves to play world police instead of fixing their own dumpster fire. You guys only cheapen a movement like aid for gaza, stfu and get in the back of the line Americans, better yet go deal with your fascist government
