One person in critical condition after being shot in incident involving Border Patrol in Arizona The individual is in custody and receiving care, according to law enforcement.

UPDATE: After seeing this video, I informed ICE of my intent to visit the Baltimore facility today. I was told I would be denied entry.

It’s clear Trump's ICE would rather engage in a cover up. I will not stop pressing until we get answers. We need transparency & accountability.
