John — I
recently went down to an ICE federal facility in Minneapolis to conduct
oversight as a member of Congress and seek accountability as ICE
terrorizes my community.
What happened next will not surprise you:
[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Ilhan Omar: 'I was just denied access to the ICE processing
center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and
constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being
detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE
facilities.'
This is a blatant and illegal attempt to obstruct members of Congress from
doing their job. And it’s just another example of ICE acting as a runaway,
unaccountable, secret police force operating outside of the law.
They don’t answer to Congress. They don’t answer to the Courts. They don’t
answer to state officials or law enforcement. And they certainly don’t
answer to the American people, who they have harassed, detained, beaten,
and shot at on a daily basis.
No, ICE answers only to the President. They’re a squad of personal thugs
ready to be unleashed on the President's political opponents.
Just look at how they have refused to cooperate with Minnesota on an
investigation into the murder of Renee Good. They care more about
protecting their own than seeking truth, justice, and accountability for
an American citizen who was killed in cold blood.
It’s fascism, it’s authoritarianism, and the American people cannot and
will not stand for it.
If we are to protect our democracy as we slide down this slippery slope,
it’s absolutely imperative that we meet MAGA and the far-right in every
state and every district across the country with a tidal wave of
opposition.

fight back in Minneapolis and work to protect our neighbors from ICE’s
attacks.

We all have a role to play in building the movement to end this insanity.
I will continue to do what I can, with all the power I have as a member of
Congress, to fight back. I’m counting on you to do your part too, and help
us defeat Trump’s extreme agenda and out-of-control presidency.
In solidarity,
Ilhan Omar
