U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.
