Earlier this year leaked video showed the inhumane conditions at the Baltimore ICE Holding Facility. Today we conducted an unannounced oversight visit. Here's some of what we learned:

Netanyahu says he’s 'saddened' by images of an IDF soldier defacing a crucifix in Lebanon. But if he truly cared about attacks against Christians, he’d end rampant settler violence against them in the West Bank & harassment in Jerusalem. Being sad isn't enough, DO SOMETHING!
Instead of needlessly stationing armed ICE agents at our airports, Republicans and Trump should just pay TSA. It's that simple. And if Republicans would stop blocking us, we could fund TSA, FEMA, and more TODAY.
24 sources told The Atlantic that Kash Patel’s heavy drinking impeded his ability to do his job. He denied it. He also told provable lies during this hearing. And at the end, he refused to acknowledge that is a crime to lie to Congress. It is.
I will not vote for another dime for Trump's war. This war is making us less safe. It's taken 13 American lives. Killed thousands of civilians. And is costing billions in taxpayer dollars. The best way to protect our troops, save lives, & end this war is to cut off funding.
Instead of ending his illegal war in Iran, Trump spent the weekend attacking Pope Leo & posting pictures of himself as Christ. This unhinged man is unfit to be Commander in Chief. He is putting Americans & the world in danger. We must end this war now.
Today, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans once again refused to pass the Senate's bill to fully fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Do your jobs: Quit blocking this and focus on getting prices down and ending Trump’s illegal war!
Trump's war of choice in Iran has cost us the lives of 13 American service members & injured hundreds, killed thousands of civilians, & is costing $2 BILLION per day. With Trump considering putting boots on the ground, we must say loud & clear: End this war, NOW! 📍Aberdeen, MD
Not one more dime for an illegal war of choice that is making us less safe. The best way to protect our troops, end the killing of school children and civilians, reduce skyrocketing oil and gas prices, and stop wasting billions of taxpayer dollars is to cut off the funding.
Trump is already spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his illegal regime change war of choice in Iran. Now, he's going to ask Congress to give him up to $50 BILLION MORE. My vote: hell NO.
On Sunday, Defense Minister Katz said Israel would use the "Rafah" model in Lebanon. Earlier this month, the Trump Admin rushed a sale of over 20,000 bombs to the Netanyahu gov. Today, I asked the official who signed off on the transfer if it complies with US policy & intl law. He wouldn't answer.

World ignores Donald Trump's repeated threats of war crimes against Iran. His claims of destroying the country are seen as empty rhetoric, not a genuine plan. The global community has grown desensitized to his aggressive language. #DonaldTrump #WarCrimes #Iran #Geopolitics #EmptyThreats

Measles can lead to hospitalizations, lifelong complications, deaths, and cost communities hundreds of thousands of dollars to control. But, it’s preventable. Staying up to date on vaccination protects you and those most at risk. If you have concerns about vaccines, speak with a healthcare provider.
