Maryland’s congressional delegation made an unannounced visit Monday to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Baltimore, only to find the holding rooms empty.
“There’s nobody in this facility,” U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen said at a news conference outside the George H. Fallon Federal Building.
U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume said Monday that the empty Baltimore ICE holding facility was a stark contrast to his previous visits.
“The other two times that I was here, this place was running over with prisoners,” he said. “And then today, nobody’s there. I didn’t even see the guards that walk around looking like Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. I don’t want to be overly suspicious, but I don’t believe Humpty Dumpty fell. I think he was pushed. I think this was orchestrated so we would be here and they could claim the facility is humane, because there are no prisoners.”
