Congresswoman Summer Lee and Human Rights First advocate denied entry to ICE detention center during oversight visit.
Quiver AI Summary
On August 25, 2025, Congresswoman Summer Lee and Human Rights First's Senior Counsel, Yannick Gill, attempted to visit the Moshannon Valley Processing Center to conduct oversight following allegations of human rights abuses. They were reportedly denied entry by ICE officials after waiting for over an hour, raising concerns about transparency in immigration detention facilities.
Lee criticized the denial, asserting it undermines Congress's oversight role and emphasizes the need for accountability in facilities funded by taxpayers. Gill echoed these sentiments, stating that preventing access to oversight raises doubts about conditions within detention centers, especially with existing reports of inadequate medical care.
Earlier this year, Lee introduced the Congressional Oversight Access Act to protect congressional oversight activities. As a member of key committees, she has focused on securing significant federal investments for her district while striving for greater transparency and accountability in government operations.
