As ICE protesters gathered outside of Delaney Hall, Democratic lawmakers including New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, U.S. Senator Andy Kim, and Reps. Menendez, Pou, and Mejia gathered to conduct congressional oversight of the facility, over allegations of inhumane conditions for the detainees.
ICE agents, acting as they usually do, attempted to quell the freedom of speech right to protest of the crowd. As Senator Kim attempted to calm the crowd down in fear of violence from ICE agents, he was pepper sprayed. Gov. Mikie Sherrill was outright denied access into the facility, being housed in her own state.
In response, Senator Kim said “Delaney Hall must be shut down immediately. ICE cannot be allowed to continue operating in this way.”
On this episode of Big F*ing Deal, we discuss ICE’s brutality, in addition to Trump’s declining health, his recent trip to Walter Reed, his decaying hands, and his daytime sleeping problems. They also dive into the absurdity of the Trump UFC White House fight, in which taxpayer funds will be used, even as Trump says there isn’t enough money for healthcare.
