What is the Trump-Vance admin hiding? Why do they continue to block members of Congress from accessing ICE facilities?
The answer is clear: what ICE is doing is harmful, and this admin does not want checks and balances.
We look forward to seeking answers in court.

The Trump-Vance admin gave ICE free reign to raid houses of worship—in parking lots, at preschool pickup, and even during sermons. The threats to community safety are at an all-time high.
