immigration Chicago federal crackdown.

Four Illinois members of Congress have been allowed into a suburban Chicago immigration processing center that’s been at the forefront of an immigration crackdown. Their tour on Monday comes after a judge’s ruling last week said Trump administration policies cannot block congressional access to immigration facilities. The Associated Press observed U.S. Reps. Danny Davis, Jesús “Chuy” García, Delia Ramirez and Jonathan Jackson walk into the facility and spend about an hour inside. They reported some improved conditions but raised concerns about the lack of medical staff. The facility has been criticized for being used as a de facto detention center.
