DANA BASH: And this was an attempt -- you were doing an event there, but you were also trying to go forward with part of your job in Congress, which is oversight. Were you able to get any of that oversight actually done? Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, I will send that to you.
LAMONICA MCIVER: Yes, we actually were. I mean, that's why I find it to be appalling that they said we were trespassing, because how are we trespassing and then you offer us a tour at the end? Which is the reason why we were there in the first place, to have a tour of this facility that had just opened up on May 1. It had over 100 detainees. We were getting reports prior to our tour that children were there. We did not know the status of the facility or the status of the detainees. And so that is why we showed up there to do our job as members. New Jerseyans count on us to do our job. Immigration has been something that's in the back doors -- in the backyards of New Jersey, and it's our jobs to make sure everything is running properly at this facility. So we were able to get a tour towards the end of all of that commotion, all of that chaos. They took us on a tour, offered us a soda in the midst of doing this, never apologized or said anything about the confrontation and the chaos that they caused outside. But we were able to get in, speak to detainees, check out the facilities, and make sure everything was OK there.
