A federal court just sided with me and my colleagues to stop the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to block unannounced congressional inspections of immigration detention facilities. Proud to stand up for transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.

But it also has exposed ordinary people to tens of thousands of chemicals that slip out of those items into our food and water — and from there, into our bodies.
