ICE denies U.S. Rep. Jason Crow entry to Aurora detention facility, congressman says

Colorado Congressman Jason Crow was denied access to inspect the ICE detention facility in Aurora. As reported by the Greeley Daily Tribune:

Crow’s office has conducted regular inspections of the facility and posted reports about it on Crow’s website. But though members of Congress are legally allowed to make unannounced visits, their staff members must give 24 hours’ notice before they can tour a facility.

...

“When ICE has days to plan, things are cleaned up, dressed up — there’s a bit of a dog and pony show” that makes it harder to gauge the facility’s true condition, he said.

As Democratic lawmakers have increasingly shown up at detention centers to inspect their conditions, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently enacted its own policy requiring congressional members to give at least 72 hours’ notice before arriving at a facility.

So now ICE is giving itself authority to make law?

This version of the federal government is broken. Oh and in case you were wondering...yes, the beatings will continue if and until morale improves.

Members of Congress don't need to give prior notice; Congressional staff need to give at least 24 hours notice, so I can see where they can impose the 72 hours on staff members.
