Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill has repeatedly claimed that conditions in the Delaney Hall ICE facility are abhorrent, inhuman, and intolerable. Democratic leaders claimed that the conditions were so horrific that there was a hunger strike going on. As is often the case, there is a closed loop of information fueling such claims. The media ran allegations from advocacy groups, politicians repeated the media reports as fact, and then lawyers cited both as the basis for a lawsuit to shut down the site. The problem is an actual federal inspection that found the facility to be in compliance with virtually every standard.
The most recent investigative report conducted by the DHS Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) found compliance with 17 out of 22 standards. The errors were comparatively minor to the sweeping claims made by Sherrill and others.
The investigation, performed by six OPR officers and four outside contractors, found only 5 areas of violation, including ice buildup in the freezers, fingerprinting omissions, and improper labeling of cleaning equipment.
Moreover, ICE has supplied records showing that state officials have been allowed into the facility for their own inspections, releasing proof from a May 28 visit. Despite such access, Democratic politicians and activists continued to spread the false claim that there have been no such inspections, rotting food, and disgusting conditions.
In support of the state lawsuit, Sherrill proclaimed
“If the GEO Group — with a $1 billion government contract — has nothing to hide and the conditions inside Delaney Hall are as safe and as sanitary as this private corporation and the Trump Administration claim, then there is no legitimate reason why my health inspectors are being kept from full access throughout the building. The people of New Jersey deserve transparency and accountability, and I will continue using all the power of this office to advocate for the detainees and their families.”
The complaint generally refers to public reports as the basis for the action:
“Since then, public reporting has raised significant concerns about public health conditions in the facility, including overcrowding and lack of ventilation; lack of or inadequate medical care or hygiene practices; unsanitary food and drink preparation and storage; and the unchecked spread of communicable diseases like COVID-19 and Influenza.”
That will make for an interesting hearing on the new lawsuit, where the court may question the good-faith accounts made in filings or public statements. The complaint is notably framed in vague terms about the underlying claims and the sources for those allegations.
It notably only asks for access, avoiding a direct demand for a finding of violations.
In the meantime, Sherrill continues to claim that local police are present to protect protesters from the ICE violence and repeats these claims about conditions at the facility.
DHS has continued to rebut claims made by politicians and pundits. However, few of those facts are penetrating the coverage of the protests or changing the sweeping claims being made by elected officials.
This lawsuit could allow for a full consideration of the claims and the facts surrounding the facility.
Here is the complaint: Washington v. The GEO Group
The hearing is a good idea.
This may be a parallel situation to the Abrego Garcia case, in which a hearing was clearly essential, while the merits of the final case were anything but clear. Denial of proper hearing should not be allowed to become a standard tool in law enforcement’s kit.
left grasping at straws after losing public opinion and losing this issue.
Keep going dems, maybe you can convince some more idiots while you destroy your party.
All you needed was a single sensible issue to run on but you messed everyone of them up!
As did Trump. Dems take congress in Nov. Bye MAGAots.
haha keep dreaming, ya LOST this issue, doing a lot of losing lately and you’re losing November too!
Turley Writes:
“The problem is an actual federal inspection that found the facility to be in compliance with virtually every standard.”
* * * *
Here, on the word ‘found’, Turley links a Fox News Story featuring this paragraph:
The investigation found deficiency in food services for ice build-up in the freezers, admission and release deficiency for not fingerprinting detainees upon release, deficiency in holding room facilities for not properly recording checks on hold rooms and custodial information, deficiency in environmental health and safety for not properly labeling cleaning equipment on site and deficiency in suicide and self-harm prevention for not monitoring detainees for the proper amount of time.
…………………………………………
This paragraph might really be an effort to minimize the findings. Yet it’s not that reassuring for supporters of ICE. It sounds like there could be some genuine here.
Republican Reps.
– Warren Davidson of Ohio,
– Thomas Massie of Kentucky,
– Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania
– Tom Barrett of Michigan
joined Democrats in passing the resolution.
Delaney Hall has been arround for a long time. It has been in use from Before Obama.
It is highly unlikely that it suddenly degraded.
Suddenly? In a time span from Obama to Trump today, is some 9 years, almost, ten and you call that “suddenly”? You F@ing idiot.
The only (idiot) here is you Ano.
Ten years is NOT long for a building.
Try thirty and you may have a point.
Coherence is not your strongpoint dude.
F@ing idiot ANON!
Wah! TDS tears…
The Trump administration DHS Office of Professional Responsibility investigated itself and found it had done nothing wrong.
No surprise there.
Had they reported anything detrimental to the Trump administration they would have been fired and the report buried as the reviled product of the fictional Deep State, an organization with no org chart, no hierarchy, and no members. What they no doubt found is what they looked for – a blinkered view of a facility that had been, likely in at least some part, scrubbed clean, and only in those areas of investigation, both physical plant and paperwork, likely with the previously held and abused detainees removed and replaced. There is also the implication that any detainee making a complaint to the investigation would see severe retribution.
The proper answer to the complaint is to allow zero-warning visits by any member of Congress. A facility under proper controls will have no problem accommodating a few visitors at any time, day or night, in the same way they would allow contractors to enter to perform emergency repairs.
Since the DHS/ICE appear to recoil in horror at that suggestion they clearly have a great deal to hide.
Turley Not Telling Entire Story
For weeks, detainees and attorneys advocating for them have accused the Delaney facility of providing poor living conditions and inadequate medical care despite outbreaks of covid-19 and the flu.
Those reports prompted the state health department to send representatives to the facility, where they were allowed to inspect the food service department. But the state said in its complaint that the inspectors were denied access to the center’s medical unit, sleeping areas, showers and ventilation system.
The Department of Homeland Security called the state’s lawsuit “frivolous” and denied allegations of poor conditions.
There’s reason to be skeptical about the administration’s nothing-to-see-here attitude. Eighteen individuals have already died in the government’s custody this year, matching its count for all of 2020, at the height of the pandemic. Last year, 33 detainees died, and multiple facilities reported outbreaks of tuberculosis, a disease associated with poor living conditions.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration gutted watchdog agencies at DHS. Last year, it attempted to eliminate the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, which once had about 140 full-time employees. DHS backtracked amid threats of lawsuits, but it still slashed the office’s headcount to about 40 people, most of them outside contractors.

“For weeks, detainees and attorneys advocating for them have accused the Delaney facility of providing poor living conditions and inadequate medical care despite outbreaks of covid-19 and the flu.”
Of course they did – that is their job. I am not pi$$ing on them But those attorneys are ADVOCATES.
They are not impartial observers – they are not even actual observers – they also have no actual source except the detainees.
I expect that they will argue for the detainees. That does not make what they are being told true.
“Those reports prompted the state health department to send representatives to the facility, where they were allowed to inspect the food service department.”
Please provide a source for this – Federal facilities do not have to comply with state laws or regulations – and they typically do not even allow the state into their facilities. These are secure fascilities were many of those in them are very dangerous access is deliberately carefully controlled.
“But the state said in its complaint that the inspectors were denied access to the center’s medical unit, sleeping areas, showers and ventilation system.” Again I am highly dubious of all of this – even assuming the state was allowed in – The people who inspect food services ARE NOT the people who inspect medical fascilities. Even if DHS allowed a state food services inspector into the building – they would not have allowed them into showers, medical fascilities ….
“The Department of Homeland Security called the state’s lawsuit “frivolous” and denied allegations of poor conditions.”
And the plaintiffs will get the oportunity to prove their case – presuming they have sufficient evidence to start to get to hearings and discovery.
“There’s reason to be skeptical about the administration’s nothing-to-see-here attitude.”
“Eighteen individuals have already died in the government’s custody this year, matching its count for all of 2020, at the height of the pandemic. Last year, 33 detainees died, and multiple facilities reported outbreaks of tuberculosis, a disease associated with poor living conditions.”
That is out of over a million detainees – there were not 1 million detainees in 2020.
The death rate in the US is approx 900/100,000 – that would mean 9,000 deaths among 1m detainees – if they were held for the entire year.
Detention times vary by region – mostly because of the tilt of the judiciary in that region. But 1 year detentions are by far the exeception rather than the rule.
All places where people are held in custody have problems with communicable diseases like TB.
According to the WHO the rate of TB among incarcerated people is 10 times the rate in the general population.
While poor conditions are a factor – the prime driver is a closed community with people in close proximity to each other.
Another factor is that many incarcerated people come in unhealthy to begin with.
But again – we do not actually know any of these claims are real. But we Could – TB is a mandatory reporting disease – why dont you check CDC to see if there is anything unusual.
“Meanwhile, the Trump administration gutted watchdog agencies at DHS. Last year, it attempted to eliminate the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, which once had about 140 full-time employees.”
Why does DHS have an office of civil rights and civil liberties – that is the job of DOJ ? No wonder the government is bloated.
Yes, I am in favor of RIFing massive portions of the federal government (state and local too)
“DHS backtracked amid threats of lawsuits, but it still slashed the office’s headcount to about 40 people, most of them outside contractors.”
40 too many
Wait, there is more. Here are local Mockingbird cheerleaders:
https://gothamist.com/news/who-is-ice-detaining-at-njs-delaney-hall-not-as-many-criminals-as-dhs-suggests
“The median length of stay for those detained at Delaney Hall is 9.6 days”.
Here the whole narrative collapses. There is not enough time for these dramatic stats, which the mostly peaceful protesters cite, to have any meaning.
tuberculosis, a disease associated with poor living…
Just another reason to deny entries to the US if they’re from a disease-ridden country.
Keep America Beautiful!
Would it make you happy if Antifa does the inspection? Or better yet how about the Dems darling Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Do you really beleive that Delany hall went to h311 in less than two years ?
It has been operating since before Obama was president.
Contra left wing nuts – 90%+ of government employees are democrats.
Do you really beleive the Few Trump personel in Government are capable of hiding massive problems from them ?
Do I beleive that Everything is great at Delany Hall – absolutely not.
But persuading me that it is worse than the average jail or prison in the country is idiocy too.
Further – unlike every jail or prison in the nation – these people can go home anytime they want.
All they have to do is ask.
They are being held in Delany hall because they refuse to go home.
“Had they reported anything detrimental to the Trump administration they would have been fired ”
Because civil service does not exist and the 90% of government employees covered by it have no protection if they cross the president.
You do not live in reality.
” the fictional Deep State, an organization with no org chart, no hierarchy, and no members.”
There is zero doubt the deep state exists – it is nothing more than those in government with their own agenda independent of democrats and republicans and focused on preserving and expanding their power.
If there is no deep state – why didn’t Obama keep his promises regarding Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo ?
“What they no doubt found is what they looked for – a blinkered view of a facility that had been, likely in at least some part, scrubbed clean, and only in those areas of investigation, both physical plant and paperwork, likely with the previously held and abused detainees removed and replaced.”
You do not beleive in the deep state which is real – but you magically beleive that the Tiny portion of the federal govenrment that actually supports Trump is capable of a massive and perfect coverup of something there is no good reason to beleive in the first place.
Delany is a detention center – it is very similar to a jail or prison. Yet despite knowing – or being blind to conditions in most jails and prisons in the US – you somehow beleive Delany is far worse.
But even if the allegations you have made were true – Delany would NOT be worse.
“There is also the implication that any detainee making a complaint to the investigation would see severe retribution.”
How so ? They are already detained – though they can leave on a moments notice – if they agree to go home.
Those in US jails and prisons can not leave under any circumstances.
Those in Delany can leave whenever they wish.
I would agree with you – that Any official Report on Delany is likely to spin favorable to the government – that would be true no matter who was president.
But it takes magical thinking to beleive Delany is some h311hole today – but in 2024 it was not.
“The proper answer to the complaint is to allow zero-warning visits by any member of Congress.”
Already allowed – though if you show up without warning – only the congressperson is allowed inside – and it will likely take hours to arrange for the congressmen to pass through safely – after all this place houses some very dangerous people.
And Congressmen are not trained prison guards.
“A facility under proper controls will have no problem accommodating a few visitors at any time, day or night, in the same way they would allow contractors to enter to perform emergency repairs.”
Of course it will – see if you can visit any prison or jail in the US anytime day or night unannounced.
And no contractors are not allowed into jails and prisons instantly if there is an emergency.
Fascilities like this are generally designed NOT to have emergencies. Things do go wrong – but not things that require instant attention from people other than trained staff.
“Since the DHS/ICE appear to recoil in horror at that suggestion they clearly have a great deal to hide.”
What do they have to hide ? These people are being detained pending certain deportation.
The will All leave it is just a question of how soon.
Not worth dealing with all of that but:
“You do not beleive in the deep state which is real – but you magically beleive that the Tiny portion of the federal govenrment that actually supports Trump is capable of a massive and perfect coverup of something there is no good reason to beleive in the first place.”
The facility has a small number of people and the number of investigators is small and the access to anyone but those people is non-existent. It’s very easy to do whatever they want there.
Also, as usual, your writing is a cesspool of spelling errors indicating your poorly organized mind.
“The facility has a small number of people”
Correct – but what you think that there was some WH plot to send the few MAGA people in govenrment to Delany ?
Again – you do not think before you post.
At best 10% of government is republican – even that 10% is more likely to be establishment republicans and neocons than MAGA.
The MAGA people Trump brought in are with only a few exceptions – in Policy making positions.
They are not the people administering these fascilities – they are probably 2 layers above the people employed in these fascilities.
Absolutely there could be hanky panky going on – but it would be by people who are either democrats or might as well be democrats
“the number of investigators is small”
That is normal. There are 350M people in the US – there are about 1M people in law enforcement I beleive including prison guards.
“the access to anyone but those people is non-existent.”
True about every fascility in the US where people are held by government against their will.
“It’s very easy to do whatever they want there.”
Very easy is problematic – but absolutely we do know that when you give people power over others there are often abuses.
Though it turns out the Milgram experiment was fraudulent
Regardless abuses do occur.
But the argument here is that Delany is worse than the norm for people held against their will.
Even the actual claims being made – do not support that.
I would be shocked if the food at the average state prison or county jail is not far worse
Absolutely I would like to see us do better accross the board – there is evidence that better treatment of prisoners leads to lower violence in prison and lower recidivism. But that does not mean that turning incarceration into the ritz is a good idea either.
Incarceration needs to be a deterent too.
“Also, as usual, your writing is a cesspool of spelling errors indicating your poorly organized mind.”
ROFL.
I have been published multiple times – including TWICE by ACM.
Regardless, my posts here are NOT work that I am paid for.
My posts here – are almost entirely direct responses to the specific claims made in posts by others.
I do not give a crap about the spelling.
As to the organization – Blame yourself – I typically respond point by point to YOUR claims.
The “organization” is up to you.
Ad hominem is a poor substitutite for argument.
“The Trump administration DHS Office of Professional Responsibility investigated itself . . .”
Apparently, you felt like ignoring this fact:
“The investigation, performed by six OPR officers and *four outside contractors* . . .” (emphasis added)
The rest of your comment is equally credible.
The Video Estovir Overlooked
Rep. Ted Lieu, D-California, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had a tense exchange in a congressional hearing Wednesday over President Donald Trump dozing off in public appearances, like Cabinet meetings.
Lieu asked Rubio to focus on the president, whose eyes are closed, in a video of a Cabinet meeting in December.
“Secretary Rubio, have you been at more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep?” the Democratic lawmaker asked during Wednesday’s House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-rubio-said-hes-never-seen-trump-fall-asleep-in-a-meeting-rep-lieu-showed-him-the-videos
…………………………………………….
A couple hours ago, Estovir posted a video clip of Marco Rubio yelling at a Congresswoman. Estovir was excited because he thinks women have no business in Congress. Or perhaps, ‘women of color’ have no business in Congress.
Well here’s a clip from that same hearing but a different exchange. Congressman Lieu presents Rubio with 2 video clips of Trump dozing at meetings with Rubio sitting next to him. A third clip shows Trump dozing at a Memorial Day ceremony.
But after each clip was played, Rubio denied that Trump was sleeping. Click on the link and watch.
Why should we care ?
It is well known that Trump does not sleep very much.
Conversely Reagan spent a massive amount of time on vacation.
We measure presidents by what is accomplished.
The wise among us measure most everyone the same way.
Another NOTHING burger.
Should we brink up biden.
The State of New Jersey, Governor Mikie Sherrill, et al. have committed acts of subversion, insurrection, and secession against the United States.
Governor Sherrill et al. must be apprehended, incarcerated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.
The Left ruins everything it touches.
Leftists are mentally-deranged monsters.
Christ was a leftist.
No, he wasn’t.
No he was a religious teacher and the messiah. ‘
Contra the left – he had little interest in Government.
He did not say When did you go out and persuade Government to feed the hungry, he said When did YOU feed the hungry.
That is far closer to conservatism and libertarianism than the left.
Every single thing Christ spoke about was INDIVIDUAL responsibility.
“The people of New Jersey deserve transparency and accountability . . .” (Governor Sherrill)
That’s rich. And her claims about Delany Hall aren’t worth spit.
While a student at the Naval Academy, she witnessed students cheating on an engineering exam (the infamous “Wires Scandal”). She did not report their cheating. Then when the Honor Board investigated, she again refused to name the cheaters.
Then when her cowardice became an issue in the governor’s race, and people began wondering why the Academy banned her from walking in the commencement ceremony — she dissembled and tried to cover it up.
Because you think she got away with something then Trump can get away with something.
That’s rich.
This is not about Trump – the Naval Academy has/had an honor code.
It is absolute. You violate it – you are gone.
It is NOT the same code that most people live by.
When you join the Naval Academy you are expected to live by that code
Again – this is not the same as most people.
You Voluntarily accept the constraints of the honor code.
When you later fail to live up to them – that means you never took honor seriously.
While the honor code at the naval academy is pretty high – that is not the real point.
The real point is that she agreed to live by that code and quite quickly failed.
ICE Has Record Of Deceit
Federal prosecutors acknowledged in a court filing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lawyers provided false information to justify detaining thousands of immigrants. The government admitted that an ICE memo previously cited to authorize courthouse arrests of individuals pursuing legal status actually granted no such authority.
Key Details of the Court Revelations
The False Premise: ICE legal counsel continuously used a May 2025 memo to defend arresting immigrants as they were leaving immigration court hearings.
The Admission:
Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys, representing the federal government, formally acknowledged in a letter that this memo did not, in fact, grant the authority to conduct these courthouse arrests.
The Lawsuit:
This revelation surfaced in a lawsuit brought by the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) and other civil rights groups challenging the government’s practice of targeting individuals attempting to gain legal status.
^ AI generated ^
Still 100% true. AI is terrible at completely original work and moderately good at duplicating facts. It’s a refreshing change from listening to conservative media which is mainly fiction.
You have no effect here. Don’t worry. Be happy. You can go here: enigmainblack.com.
That post is completely irrelevant to the issues published in the article.
Your ranting about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
You also fixate on a memo – that did not actually circulate and is NOT a legal authority.
You do not seem to know what a legal authority is.
The constitution is a legal authority – statutes are a legal authority – If they comport with the constitution. Case law is a legal authority – again if it is actually constitutional.
Memo’s are not a legal authority.
All that said – ICE has the legal authority to arrests illegal aliens in public anywhere in the US with an administrative warrant. Unarguably – though the do not do so – they have the authority to do so inside of a court room while the court is in session.
Why ? Because they have met the constitutional requirements of the 5th amendment. Adn 2 and 1/2 centuries of search and seizure law.
That is the authority.
What ICE can not do with an administrative warrant (probably – there is ALOT of case law providing LEOs with the authority to seize a person without ANY warrant – even on private property under a huge but not infinite number of circumstances) is enter private property without permission.
Js, swatting is to circumvent entering without permission? SCOTUS heard a case regarding this recently?
SWATTING is typically a third party trying to create a dangers situation by making a false claim to police that Results in their Going in Guns drawn on a hair trigger expecting violence – when the threat was a lie told by others.
But you are correct – there are many situations in which LEO’s can enter private property without a warrant or permission.
And there is massive case law on this – and SCOTUS hears search and seizure cases all the time.
“The government admitted that an ICE memo previously cited to authorize courthouse arrests of individuals pursuing legal status actually granted no such authority.”
vs.
“You also fixate on a memo – that did not actually circulate and is NOT a legal authority.”
“Memo’s are not a legal authority.”
Congratulations – ICE used the memo which isn’t legal authority. You don’t know that it circulated or not, but if it was considered valid to even one person at the leadership level, then they would use that as permission to act and spread that permission through the organization. Not everyone is privy to the top level discussions, but most everyone is affected when the top level says something. Clearly ICE agents acted in accordance with the memo; claims it didn’t circulate is a red herring.
ATS
One other serious Flaw in your idiocy is that SCOTUS long long ago determined that Law Enforcement is perfectly Free to LIE to perform their job.
If the police knock on your door and demand to search your place and you ask for a warrant and they say they do not need one – and you let them in – Your screwed – the search is perfectly legal.
While you are off in lala land regarding the uncirculated DHS memo – that would be irrelevant anyway.
DHS Memos are not a legal authority – the constitution, statute and case law are, and those are all on ICE’s side.
But even in those instances in which they are not – Deceit is a COMMON and legaly acceptable means for ANY Law Enforcement to get you to allow them to do what they can not do without consent.
And every police officer is trained to make use of it or permutations of it all the time.
ICE behaves more professionally and more constitutionally than nearly all other law enforcement.
That is not because they have good character. It is because the vast majority of their job is incredibly repetitious and simple – both as a process and constitutionally.
ICE officers make arrests – Each Officer makes more arrests in 9 months than other LEO’s make in a lifetime. Do something several times a day over and over and you get very good at it.
ICE officers do NOT for the most part conduct investigations – For every ICE officer there are 3 staff personal that are performing investigations. ICE investigations and mostly NOT like FBI investigations.
They are pretty much ROTE records searchs. They go through records of arrests from other Law Enforcement. When A jurisdiction does not cooperate – they use publicly accessible records – most of criminal law in the US is done publicly and recorded publicly – just like a landlord can find out if you have past criminal charges and convictions – so can ICE. They can also check newspaper records.
They also have access to other govenrment records. They have access to passport and visa records, they have access to searches of FBI records by municipalities – this is barely scratching the surface of the records they have access to. If you are an illegal alien in the US – particularly a criminal illegal alien – avoiding leaving any foot print anywhere today is impossible. One huge advantage ICE has – is that the Obama administration – pushed illegal aliens to register with CBP using a smart phone App.
The set them up to collect benefits that way.
Every single person that used the App is known to CBP/ICE today.
ICE investigations – which are NOT conducted by officers – who primarily conduct arrests – thousands of them, are just like the arrests – pretty close to rote processes.
These people are good at what they do – because it is ALL the do, and they do it over and over.
There were almost 1M deportations in 2025. Performed by less than 9000 officers and less than 30,000 total ICE employees.
It is easy to arrest “undocmented” immigrants when they have filed for asylum and ICE knows where they live and work because of the documentation trail they have generated. Clearly ICE is not going after the most dangerous ones, just Moms and Dads dropping off their, quite often, US Citizen children at school or grabbing them at the job they listed as part of the legal application process. Sometimes, they have passed every test and are heading to get sworn as US Citizens but, rather than allow them to take that oath, ICE picks them up just outside the room they would have become citizens in.
I think that shooting an unarmed man who is held face down in the street by several guys in bullet resistant vests, several times in the back violates the US Constitution. It’s what cops do in America; ICE is no longer any better than any other armed, masked, street thug. They used to wear just a regular jacket; they are now paramilitary. This is a radical departure, just another reaction of the radical Right to use violence when violence isn’t required.
Want to save America? Have 12 children like in the good old days. Work hard and put them all through college, debt free.
thousands of Illegals.
Fixed it for you fool
It’s curious how the left was strangely silent about ATF making unannounced visits to gun owners, making demands without a warrant, but somehow vague allegations in the muck-raker press and off to court and the press conference they go.
Probably a matter of scale. Did ATF knock on one million doors last year? Also, how would they be announced ahead of announcing themselves at the door? They are looking for a physical gun, so what would a phone call accomplish? What were they making demands about?
If none of this has information behind it, it’s unlikely to get any reaction.
Were any ATF agents injured? Were any gun owners killed? Would you object if it resulted in rape gangs and drug dealers getting their guns taken from them or are you pro-rape and pro-overdose death?
Marco Rubio puts a clown in check during House Oversight hearing. He brutally mocks her and laughs in her face. This is the way to deal with these agitprop Marxists.
Well done Marco.
Estovir, I’m not seeing how Rubio ‘told off’ this woman. Not a good example. Rubio is just playing to Trump, as all his appointees do.
This person with a uterus purports to be investigating but is actually giving a biased political speech.
This female woman is incoherent and hysterical when she should be at home increasing the fertility rate and nurturing children and creating good citizens.
yikes, don’t encourage her.
We may be lucky if she is nullipares, n’est ce pas?
Très bien. Je prends note de la correction. Merci beaucoup.
“This woman” behaved like the Dems always do which is to push propaganda talking points and not let the person get a word in. It has nothing to do with Trump and Marco Rubio does not need Trump to know how to do what’s good for America.
Rubio did not “tell off” this woman – she made a fool of herself
While there is lots of game playing in congressional hearings – by all sides.
Congressmen use their time as here – to engage in personal attacks and false claims – without allowing time for answers. While those appearing before a committee try to not answer questions and run out the clock.
This particular exchange surprised me – Personal attacks are NOT permitted – and the NORM is that the chair always give someone who has been subject to a personal attack time to respond – the person being insulted does not need to take time from another Representative.
Here is a great clip of Rubio telling off Ted Lieu (D-CA), who must be one of the legitimately stupidest congressman in DC. He competes for that prize with Hank Johnson (D-GA), who was concerned Guam might “capsize” if there were too many US troops there.
https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2062190993798025719
That is another good one of Rubio mocking and laughing at a clown like Lieu. Democrats have nothing but chastising others, until someone like Rubio gives it right back and they literally walk out of the Congressional Hearing. No tienen cojones
The Representative left because there is work to do and spending time with a liar like Rubio isn’t worth doing. She exposed him and the Trump administration as liars and the response was grade-school level insults. Little Marco has a big mouth, but cannot close a deal because he’s not that smart and is working for a garbage level human being.
This is the kind of hysterical leftist woman that sows chaos and destroys civilizations.
No civilization has ever been destroyed by any woman. Get a grip, and not just with your right hand on your own two inches. I didn’t see her crying; I did see Kavanaugh collapse into a wet pile of tears and hysterical Lindsey Graham white-knighting the Justice who likes beer. Trump continuously rages at most everything; clouds too, probably.
Rubio has far more patience than I do. If Democrats don’t want to behave civilly and give the Sec. of State the minimal amount of respect – allow him to respond to questions – then he should give them the same level of disrespect.
Turn his chair around. Make her talk to his azz.
They just want to create content for MSNBC and CNN. Trump officials making Democrats talk to their backside would surely get the Democrats the air time they desperately want.
“You just don’t know where to look” is an interesting response, because it isn’t the job of Congress to look, it is the job of the State Department to report to Congress. Rubio just admitted there that he isn’t doing the job his position requires. He’s making personal digs to deflect from how poorly the Trump administration is doing.
It’s a sad commentary on the left when they come here everyday to attack one of their own. Professor Turely is a Democrat and a liberal. Unlike the trolls that attack him he loves and responds the country and the US Constitution. He lets these ugly trolls spout their nonsense because he believes in free speech. I admire Professor Turely as a person and a scholar though I disagree with him on political issues. It’s ashamed leftist act the way they do towards Mr. Turley. It is sickening.
Responds should be respects. Auto correct got me on that word
Professor Turely has been neither a Democrat nor a liberal for decades. He’s a millionaire hired by billionaires to convince the middle and lower classes to be minions to oligarchs.

Breaking: The City of Battle Ground, Washington, has signed a proclamation officially recognizing the federal government’s designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization.
Antifa members interrupt Mayor Overholser, resulting in removal and an arrest.
The American folks at the meeting cheered and clapped.
Antifa is an organization much like being capitalist is an organization. The only American based antifa organization is one that formed to harass Nazis who were harassing Jews. Being against antifa is being pro-Nazi and anti-Jewish.
It make sense – the 2020 demographics of Battle Ground City is 84% white, down from 2010’s 90+% white, so they must be feeling like they will be replaced; a typical Nazi fear.
Ignorance and an inability to think prevail in the anonymous community.
Antifa is a Domestic Terrorist Organization.

Construction:
Undocumented workers make up roughly \(13.7\%\) of the workforce, exceeding \(1.5\) million people. They are highly concentrated in specialized trades like roofing, drywall installation, and concrete finishing.
Agriculture (Farming & Meat Processing):
Unauthorized immigrants account for about \(12.7\%\) of agricultural labor. This sector is highly dependent on seasonal migrant labor to plant, maintain, and harvest crops.
Hospitality and Leisure:

There is a reason the foolish companies hire them. Saving money. But when it comes to craftsmanship. Lacking.
Dustoff thinks Hispanics are incapable of fine carpentry. That’s the level of racism here on Turley’s blog. Turley might do better hiring an illegal alien to write the pro-Trump comments.
Not Hispanics, but uneducated unskilled illegals wherever they are from. Of course you are to stupid to know the difference. Hispanics have built some of the most beautiful cathedrals in history. That doesn’t mean all illegals are builders.
Dustoff didn’t say anything about Hispanics. He was comparing legal versus illegal immigrants. The demand for racism exceeds its supply.
Yes, some Hispanics can do carpentry.
Most of the illegals cannot. They can swing a hammer. After a few times of trial and error, they get better. But all those homes they were learning their “skills” were not quality work.
And if math is involved . . .
And if math is involved . . .
I have 10 fingers and 10 toes which give me extraordinary potential to do math. Besides, we had coconuts in Cuba to help us count as well.
What’s wrong with racism?
Americans are free, with emphasis on speech, publication, opinion, and thought.
If you can not correctly reflect what someone else has actually said – how can we have any rational discussion.
Calling people racist – because they want the law upheld is immoral and unproductive.
DustOff,
Yep. Saw that first hand. Co-worker was having a bran new house built. We would stop by on lunch to see the progress as it was being built. There was one, American skilled construction worker who over saw half a dozen homes being built.
The workers doing the building, illegals, most of which did not speak english and could swing a hammer and that was about it. There was one illegal who spoke english to broken english who actually knew some construction. The rest, well, they could swing a hammer.
A few months later, house finished, helped him move in.
There was a half inch gap under the front door. You could see daylight.
One interior doorway, was off by nearly 45 degrees at the bottom.
There was a hole in the drywall behind a mirror.
The solder for the gas water tank was done wrong.
The privacy fence in the back yard from the road that the company said they were going to build, never happened.
Generally that is not true. Nor is it relevant.
The only question with respect to immigration is What have we as a people chosen.
There are atleast 750M people world wide who would come to the US if they could do so easily.
While it is possible that we could manage that – and even that it would be ultimately net positive,
it would be incredibly disruptive.
We have chosen through laws as citizens have the right to, to establish laws to determine, who can come here and in what numbers and what the process is.
I am personally in favor of increasing significantly the number of legal immigrants.
But I have ZERO tolerance for illegal immigration.
That does not mean I have no sympathy for them.
All of our ancestors came here much the same way as they do – looking for a better life.
But the rule of law means everyone can not do whatever they want.
There is no right to come to the US. There was not 200 years ago – there is not now.
Those here get to decide.
The left likes to cite indians – how well did open borders and mass illegal immigration work for them ?
Some illegal immigrants are the worst of criminals – some are wonderful people trying to get ahead – just like the rest of us. Some are more skilled some are less. Just like the rest of us.
If you are on the left and want more immigration – go to congress and change our laws to allow more LEGAL immigrants. If you are on the right – go to congress.
What you do not get to do is pi$$ all over the people who are just trying to enforce the laws that We The People made.
I do not get exactly the laws I want – that does not entitled me to bite law enforcement.
It is congress that is where wee change our laws.
Not riots in the streets.
The January sixers – whether you agree with them or not – excercised their first amendment right to petition govenrnent AT THE CAPITAL where the people who make our laws and have he final word on elections are.
If you do not like some of our laws – I have sympathy – I do not like lots of our laws.
But take out your displeasure with our laws – with lawmakers – not law enforcement.
I have no problem holding law enforcement accountable when they do wrong.
NOT when they are enforcing laws that some of us do not like.
You can hate the law – but you do not get to take that out on law enforcement.
You protest law enforcement when it is the officers that are violating the law.
And all of that puts downward pressure on wages for Americans and legal immigrants who did not violate the law, which seems blatantly unfair. But corporate bosses benefit from the cheap, illegal labor. So why do Dems support this? Seems backwards from their usual stance.
OldManFromKS,
Right!
The Free Press ran an article about how all of Biden’s illegals were driving down wages. They even interviewed a green card holder who also complained about it. He was very pro-legal immigration and anti-illegal immigration.
Surprisingly – Agriculture is increasingly NOT dependent on illegal aliens.
Increasingly agriculture – which has been very hard to automate – is automated.
To an extent this trend is just the extension of over a century.
The farmer with a tractor is more productive than the one with a mule.
In the 1500’s 90% of the population was involved in Farming – today it is less than 1%.
A modern Farmer gets into a million dollar tractor, pugs in an SDcard and sits back and listens to music as the tractor does Everything – it is guided by GPS that is accurate to centimeters – the same stuff the military uses,
That does not mean there is no undocumented labor – but we have done an incredible job of automating a process that is incredibly hard to automate.

I only looked at the headline: “FEDERAL Inspection”. That’s enough for me and any sentient person aware of what’s going on in this country. Trump is a chronic, habitual liar. His entire cabinet, current and those already fired, are chronic, habitual liars. They have NO credibility. You literally cannot believe ANYTHING they say about anything, because they are chronic, habitual liars. The outfit running Delaney Hall is a private contractor that is making millions off of incarcerating people who have not been convicted of any crimes. Inmates have died at this facility. According to “Wikipedia”:
“The New Jersey Monitor reported that approximately 300 detainees at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark launched a coordinated hunger and labor strike over alleged conditions inside the facility.[29][30] Lawyers representing detainees have claimed that food is being served spoiled or with worms in it and people are unable to access medical care for chronic conditions, however DHS has denied these claims and that a hunger strike is happening.[30] At the same time there has been ongoing protests outside the facility along with people waiting to see relatives who are detained.[4][31]
In May 2026, amid detainee protests, Senator Andy Kim, and Representatives Rob Menendez and Frank Pallone visited the facility. Kim and Menendez reported unsanitary bathroom facilities, poor medical care, and abuse by guards.[32] Pallone, who also visited earlier in the year, described worsening conditions stated that “People are languishing without knowing if they’ll have enough to eat or if they’ll be able to receive medical care if they get sick.”[32]
New Jersey governor Mikie Sherrill was denied access in May 2026.[33] On May 28, Sherrill’s office announced that the state Department of Health “was denied full access and was allowed to inspect only a limited part of the facility” when attempting to conduct a health inspection of Delaney Hall.[34]
New Jersey Senator Andy Kim has visited the facility and criticized the conditions inside the facility as “shameful”, citing spoiled food and alleged threats of retaliation. DHS has denied these claims, with DHS Assistant Secretary, Office of Public Affairs, Lauren Bis[35] saying, “This is nothing more than a political stunt by New Jersey sanctuary politicians for fundraising clicks[. …] There is NO hunger strike at Delaney Hall. There are NO subprime conditions or abuse at the facility.”[30][31][36]
Andy Kim and other protesters were pepper sprayed by federal agents during a protest on Monday, May 25.[30][31][37] ICE stated that no one was “directly struck by pepper ball projectiles.”[37]
On May 29, 2026, former high-ranking Border Patrol officer Gregory Bovino posted online expressing support for the ICE agents at Delaney Hall, saying “Give them hell”.[38][39]”
I believe the inmates, their attorneys and Senator Kim. I don’t believe anything coming from the FEDERAL government and neither should you. If they had nothing to hide, then why not allow inspection of the entire facility, and why pepper spray protesters?
“I only looked at [Gigi’s] [opener]. That’s enough for me and any sentient person aware of what’s going on in this [comment section]. [Gigi] is a chronic, habitual liar. Her] entire [comment] and those already [made], are chronic, habitual li[es]. [She] ha[s] NO credibility.” Worse, she thinks she does.
There is no hunger strike. The detainees are using the commissary to buy food but to keep up the appearance of a so-called hunger strike, the are not eating the food provided.
NJ governor Sherrill went to the facility to show support for the protesters Memorial Day weekend, but then had to deploy the state police this past weekend when the protesters became violent with help from antifa from Portland OR. She even said,
“You should not be here,” she said of those who came to create chaos. “You are not helping the people detained at Delaney Hall. You’re not helping detainee families and you’re certainly not keeping New Jersey safe.”
— New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, 30 May 2026
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-jersey-governor-links-rising-tension-around-immigrant-detention-center-out-2026-05-31/
That is why she and the NJ state police used pepper spray.
I do not care if there is a hunger strike. They are free to do so.
DHS must provide food – it is not required to force them to eat.
They can eat or not, or buy food from the commissary.
I doubt the food is great – I would not expect food in any jail or prison to be good.
But they are free to go home anytime they want.
Remigration.
Andy Kim et al. are free to self-deport, go home, not worry, and be happy.
But then they would have to forego all that “free stuff” and “free status” from actual Americans, right?
I think OPR is still independent. Plus, nobody should believe Wikipedia
You don’t have to believe Wikipedia. They have links to all the sources for you to check to see if the article has the same information. Also look at the editing history for the page and the Talk page to see what the contributors and moderators have to say about the form of the page.
Be a functioning adult and read for your own education.
Wikipedia has sourcing standards that assure that content will be biased. They do not like primary sources, and prefer 2ndary ones.
Further Wikipedia is a crap source for what is essentially fast moving news.
The primary source for negative claims regaurding Delany is detainees and their family.
If you beleive they are good sources – they you should read all the letters from prison inmates
ANON= habitual liar!!
why pepper spray protesters

I have a idea. They were attacking the ICE Officers. Which we have seen over and over.
“I only looked at the headline: “FEDERAL Inspection”.”
There are a bit over 3M people who work for the federal govenrment – problem 90% of them are democrats.
Most of them were in the government when Biden was president,
Many when Trump was before,
Some when Obama was president.
Do I trust govenrment ? Absolutely Not.
But I also absolutely reject the complete idiocy that 3+M people in government are mother theresa when Democrats control the whitehouse and Satan when Republicans do.
I doubt Delany Hall is a great place to be. But I reject any idiotic claims that it has gone from a showplace to a cesspool in a little over a year.
I would be shocked if it was not head and shoulders better than my county prison – or in fact most jails and prisons in the country.
When you make absurd claims – people do not beleive you.
It was Obama that put children in Cages. Homan is desparately searching for 350,000 young children that the Biden administration lost track of. It is likely most of these are safe – whether they are illegal or not. But with near certainty many of them are being abused and trafficked
And that is on Democrats – not Trump.
The cages were used by Obama as protection of unaccompanied minors.
As used by Trump the cages were to hold children who were forcibly separated from their parents.
A facility can become a shi*show in a month when that is the goal of the administration. Stop feeding so often, take away bedding. Pack in far more people than the design is for, cut off bathing access, don’t issue toothbrushes or toilet paper, stop issuing clean clothes. Keep the lights on so the detainees cannot sleep, let the toilets back up by cutting of the water. Go for 30 days with that plan and even the Waldorf Astoria New York would be considered uninhabitable.
Liberal white women: agents of chaos, destroyers of civilizations. The rise of irrationality in the public sphere.
Yeah, Old Man, we need to crack down on feminists. Because they’re a major threat to old men in red states.
In their voting habits, they are a threat to everyone, including themselves. They regularly vote for their own destruction.
I’ve wondered about this poor showing by women. I’ve even given some thought to a reason brighter women died off. Class or socioeconomic status of current female pool might be examined as well as for the current male pool. These characteristics aren’t part of upper middle class exception are outliers. Idk
In England there is an epidemic of rape gangs victimizing young women. The Green Party supports the immigration that leads to the rape gangs. Liberal women actually vote for the Green Party, thus voting for their own rapes. This phenomenon is known as suicidal empathy. Having empathy for a criminal who intends to kill you. Recently in NYC, a young liberal woman refused to cooperate with prosecutors against a criminal who had victimized her. She didn’t “want another black man to go to jail.” As a result, that man was at large and shortly thereafter murdered another person on the subway. That death could have been avoided if the young liberal woman had not had empathy for an evil killer. That kind of empathy is civilizational suicide. Conservative women are not like that, only liberal women.

OldManFromKS,
Oh, it is bad in the UK, https://rmx.news/article/white-girls-raped-by-dogs-whisky-bottles-and-hundreds-of-men-britains-migrant-grooming-gang-scandal-exposed/
I found the lack of medical attention for Henry Nowak by UK police to be disgusting. Along with the murderer whom got life in prison, those police officers should be stripped of their badges, fired, arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Yes, and lose their pensions. Because of them, Nowak lost his life. Nowak said he’d been stabbed, and they replied, “I don’t think you have, mate.” Nowak then bled out. And the police refuse to prosecute rape gangs.
The majority of rape is from white males. A significant amount of rape is by fathers and stepfathers of their daughters. A not surprising amount of child sexual abuse is among Republican leaders. Seems like hardly a week goes by that one isn’t being charged and convicted of raping a child.
The comment was about England, diipshit. I take it you’re a-okay with Muslim rape gangs raping hundreds of British girls.
Wake up and smell the coffee. It’s not the women; it’s the men who lost their resolve and empowered the women. The American Founders, as did the Greeks who created democracy, DID NOT allow women to vote, primarily because women have a duty to their nations to make and well-nurture the people therein. Women indulge themselves in the self-delusion that they are logical and coherent enough to preside over and govern a nation effectively.
My Gxd! This topic has unleashed a whirlwind. My email is going to choke. Why not carry this conversation on using X? Save this place for reasoned discussion???
