This guy with a "LICK MY BUTTHOLE FEDS" sign has been standing on top of his car this whole time.
Confirmed at least one protester snatched by ICE in the chaos.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
