.@rep_jackson and I were just denied entry to the South Loop ICE facility in Chicago.
We went to ask questions and perform congressional oversight of potential illegal ICE activities as Donald Trump's administration targets immigrant communities.
More to come.
The backstory:
Hundreds of Chicago residents have received mass texts instructing them to report to immigration facilities across Chicagoland.
This morning, I released a new staff report exposing how the #TrumpAdmin wasted $500+ million in taxpayer funds & cost the American people ventilators b/c of a disastrous deal negotiated by senior officials. Here's the #thread⬇️ oversight.house.gov/news/press-rel…
As Chair of @OversightDems' Subcmte on Economic & Consumer Policy, I launched an investigation to find out why we didn't have enough ventilators at the beginning of the #covid19 pandemic, despite a 2014 #ObamaAdmin contract w/ @PhilipsNA for 10K ventilators by 2019.

I'm disappointed by #FDA Commissioner Hahn's response to a question about my subcommittee's investigation into the major flaws in the Administration's handling of coronavirus serology testing and the fact that the FDA doesn't know whether the tests currently on the market work.
Commissioner Hahn didn’t deny my subcommittee’s staff findings that the FDA hasn’t been validating the effectiveness of serological tests for COVID-19; it’s just taking the word of the test-makers that they validated their test and are following FDA rules. oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…
