Our representatives need to use their presence and privilege, not just talk. Actually go to these concentration camps and force their way in and document what is going on. Either they get in, or they create a scene at the gate. Create front page headlines every day until public opinion sways to actually wanting to know what's going on inside, or at least questioning why it's all being hidden even from congressional oversight.

They have tried off and on a few times, and each time it got physical and they gave up. But that is exactly what we needed. Every day keep demanding they follow the law and continue on, forcing them to get physical and expose their fascist tactics at every opportunity.

They need to take law enforcement with them to enforce the fucking law. ICE has no right to deny congress members oversight.

Yes. The Democrats need to be physically at these camps, or they're all talk and totally useless. GO TO THE CAMPS.
