## Resource

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari made an unannounced visit to an ICE detention facility in Phoenix, citing alarming medical emergencies and 911 calls that have raised serious concerns. She praised the recent rescinding of a DHS waiver that allowed overcrowding, calling for strict 12-hour holding limits and stronger congressional oversight. Ansari condemned immigration enforcement policies as a “moral stain,” criticizing Republican-backed ICE funding while highlighting how millions have lost SNAP benefits since Trump’s July 2023 law — including nearly 167,000 children — underscoring a national debate over resource allocation and human dignity.
