    CT Congressman John Larson Denied Access to ICE Facility

    Congressman Larson explains that, on their watch, ICE has been transformed into a secret police force, with no oversight or accountability.  On Thursday, he visited an ICE facility in Burlington, Massachusetts, which has processed detainees from Connecticut. He was denied entry at Kristi Noem’s direction, in violation of federal law. This facility claims to be a simple field office, but documented reporting shows they are housing detainees, forcing them to sleep on concrete floors and limiting access to showers.
