US EditionIllinois members of Congress are latest to tour immigration facilities after judge’s ruling
Four Illinois Democrats toured the Broadview ICE center after a judge blocked visit limits amid complaints and a crackdown that led to over 4,000 arrests in the Chicago area.
- On Monday, U.S. Reps. Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, Jonathan Jackson and Jesús "Chuy" Garcia visited Broadview after a federal judge last week blocked Trump limits.
- Six months after being denied entry, 12 members of Congress sued in Washington, D.C., challenging ICE's amended visitor policies.
- The Associated Press observed the lawmakers enter a boarded-up brick building after talking to a masked official and leave about an hour later, with custody counts of two versus 20 during 'Operation Midway Blitz'.
- Garcia said the visit tested a court-affirmed right to enter without notice, and Jackson vowed to follow up, as other House members have visited ICE sites since the ruling.
- Conditions at Broadview have spurred complaints, a lawsuit and court-ordered scrutiny as ICE says it made changes, provides meals and legal counsel, and links the site to over 4,000 arrests and Nenko Gantchev's death under investigation after Dec. 15.
