Launch a formal investigation into conditions at Delaney Hall detention center. What's happening there is a constitutional crisis, not a policy dispute, and Congress needs to act before more people are harmed.
In May, roughly 300 detainees began a hunger strike citing violations of their 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendment rights. Immigration judges are processing 74 cases in a single day — about 5 minutes per case — and ignoring habeas corpus rulings from federal judges. That's not an overloaded system. That's a system designed to deny due process. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is actively blocking congressional oversight, ICE issued a memo calling lawmaker visits "disruptive," and New Jersey's attorney general had to sue GEO Group just to get state health inspectors inside a facility operating on a $1 billion government contract.
This is exactly the kind of abuse oversight exists to stop. I want a full investigation into conditions at Delaney Hall, compliance with federal court orders, and GEO Group's contract. The detainees inside have names and rights. So do the federal judges whose rulings are being ignored.
