Andy McCarthy: Members of Congress Don’t Have the Authority to Go in ICE Detention Facility Without the Approval of the Executive Branch

‘The enforcement of the federal immigration laws is a federal responsibility’

EXCERPT:

McCARTHY: "No, they absolutely don’t have the authority to go in without the approval of the executive branch. The enforcement of the federal immigration laws is a federal responsibility. Congress has oversight of it, but members of Congress who are not acting as Congress, they are acting as individuals, they don’t have any more right to obstruct the operations and certainly to create situations that endanger and in some cases reportedly have resulted in assaults on federal officials, they don't have any power to do that."
