Greg Stanton, who represents Arizona’s fourth congressional district, is the latest in a series of Democrats who have been denied entry into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention facilities, despite members of Congress’s legal right to conduct oversight without notice at places that detain migrants.
