Summary

A congressperson was denied entry to an ICE processing facility in their district despite following proper oversight notification procedures, and is criticizing ICE's new access guidelines as illegal. They plan to continue conducting oversight and pushing back against what they view as unlawful agency practices.

#1
This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.” I have some thoughts.🧵
#2
On Tuesday morning, my staff notified ICE of my intention to conduct oversight at the Montana Ave facility the next day. This is the process we have gone through innumerable times since I was elected, through both the Trump and Biden admins, including less than a month ago.
#3
ICE responded informing me and my staff about their new procedures - we informed them of the law.
#4
I would have preferred to quietly conduct my oversight responsibilities as I always have, but ICE chose not to follow the law. These ‘guidelines’ are illegal, and that deserves public scrutiny.
#5
I have every intention of continuing my oversight responsibilities and fighting back against the lawlessness of this administration every chance I get.
#6
Plus, the Department led by a Secretary best known for cosplaying that she’s in a war zone should perhaps not lecture anyone on publicity stunts.

🚨 Today, after giving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 24 hours’ notice, more than is required by law, I was turned away from the ICE facility on Montana Ave. where I planned to conduct my constitutionally authorized oversight duties. 🧵

SummaryThe UK struggles to deport refugees, including criminals, due to international treaties (1951 Refugee Convention, ECHR Article 3 on torture) that prohibit returning people to countries where they face persecution or degrading treatment. Additionally, financial incentives for local authorities, welfare benefits, and practical barriers like lack of travel documents and detention space make deportations extremely difficult, while the system creates perverse incentives to keep people in the country rather than remove them.23 tweets3 min read♥ 30.8K

SummaryThread ini menjelaskan kontroversi 'Peringatan Darurat' di Indonesia terkait perubahan aturan hukum yang berulang kali demi kepentingan politik tertentu. Dimulai dari perubahan usia capres oleh MK untuk menguntungkan Gibran, perubahan usia calon kepala daerah oleh MA untuk Kaesang, hingga pembatalan putusan MK oleh DPR yang membuat masyarakat khawatir sistem hukum tidak lagi berfungsi sebagai kontrol kekuasaan. Penulis memperingatkan bahwa jika tren ini berlanjut, Indonesia bisa mengalami kondisi serupa Bangladesh dengan pemerintah yang tidak terkontrol.16 tweets2 min read♥ 140K
