Ilhan Omar [press conference at ICE building]: Shortly after we were let in, two officials came in and said that they received a message that we were no longer allowed to be in the building, and that they were rescinding our rinvitation to come in, and declining any further access to the building.

Omar: It was our understanding that we were let in by the former acting director that allowed us in. He was in that position up until two days ago…as we were making our way into the actual detention center where people were being detained, we were told that we have to come back out, because his higher ups had made a phone call to him saying that we are not no longer allowed to be in the building, and that an explanation would be provided to us…the explanation that we got was that, yes the law is on your side, but we don't care, and we are not going to allow you to fulfill your oversight duties…this is a blatant disregard of the law.
