Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff is leading a bipartisan effort to gain access to immigration detention facilities, alleging human rights violations and obstruction from the Department of Homeland Security. Ossoff and thirteen other senators have sent a letter demanding access, citing federal law that requires DHS to allow inspections without notice. The senators have identified hundreds of credible reports of abuse, including deaths, assaults, and medical neglect. They are now seeking disclosure of delayed or denied congressional visits and updated guidance on legal access requirements.
