YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTexas Congressman Greg Casar joins the show from outside a proposed ICE detention warehouse in Texas to explain why he believes these facilities operate as prisons for families — and why the public isn’t allowed to see what’s happening inside.
Casar describes touring family detention centers and argues that private, for-profit operators are blocking journalists and even members of Congress from accessing facilities that house children and parents. He responds to footage of reporters being warned off private property and explains why transparency is central to the immigration
debate. The conversation also examines the expansion of large warehouse-style detention sites, the role of taxpayer funding in building and operating these facilities, and why Casar believes public scrutiny could fundamentally change how Americans view family detention policy.
