Blocking oversight during a mass detention surge not only undermines the separation of powers and erodes the rule of law - but it allows deaths and inhumane conditions to continue. Congress must resume oversight immediately to save lives. @democracyforward.org

This facility is meant to break people down. Our legal team has seen firsthand the mold, disease, medical neglect, and inadequate food and water inside the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. In one year, the population surged from 3 to nearly 2,000.

We filed L.T. v ICE because the Constitution doesn't take a break behind ICE prison doors. We will continue fighting in court until DHS is forced to provide humane, safe conditions for every person in its custody.

Our immigration system should welcome - not punish - people following the law. Under Trump’s mass‑deportation agenda, even those attending routine hearings are detained. “It’s bad policy,” said ImmDef CEO Lindsay Toczylowski. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
