Colorado Rep Jason Crow claims he was denied entry to the Aurora Contract Detention Facility during an unannounced visit on Sunday, something his office described as a violation of federal law.
Crow, a Democrat who represents Aurora, in fact helped to craft a 2019 law that allows members of Congress to make unannounced visits to federal immigration detention centers. Despite this, ICE has implemented an internal policy requiring 72 hours' notice before visits—something not mandated under federal law.
