Rep. Jason Crow Claims He Was Illegally Denied Entry to Aurora ICE Facility During Oversight Visit
ARAPAHOE COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 21 – Congressman Crow says ICE violated federal law by denying unannounced oversight visit to Aurora detention center, which held an average 1,159 detainees in June, amid concerns over conditions.
- On Sunday, Rep. Jason Crow's unannounced oversight visit was denied at Aurora ICE Detention Facility, which he said violated federal law, and Crow issued a statement condemning the move.
- Despite clear legal provisions, ICE policy demands seven days' notice, Crow sponsored such legislation in 2019, but ICE policy requires advance notice.
- According to ICE's website, members must request visits at least seven days ahead, and similar blocks affected four Democratic lawmakers in Illinois, reflecting nationwide denials.
- Crow vowed to continue his oversight efforts despite the denial, asserting 'Providing oversight is critical to my job in Congress,' and he added 'I will not be deterred from conducting lawful oversight.'
- ICE is planning up to six additional facilities across Colorado, newly obtained documents reveal, and ACLU records indicate GEO Group's proposal for another center in Colorado Springs.
