EXCERPT:
TORRES: "Well, I was definitely concerned. We were disrespected when we were there. We had a conversation with management about this article before we entered the location. Now, we were told that our staff had to stay outside and that we had to keep either our phones there at the entryway or we had to leave them in the car. Now, I don’t trust to leave my cellphone with these individuals that would threaten members of Congress while we are in the process of doing our job. Let me remind these people that this is our job. Oversight is our job, and that’s what we were doing. And to threaten members of Congress, I certainly did not feel safe to be inside this location. I voiced those concerns, and I also voiced my concern for the safety of my staff that was left outside and who was going to be taking care and ensuring that no attacks were going to be against our staff. And they reassured us of that, but certainly when we walked inside the facility, there were CBP agents that were taking photos, selfie photos with us in the background. None of us had a cell phone to be able to record these actions by these agents, but imagine, this is what they are doing to members of Congress in front of their leadership. So you could imagine what happens behind closed doors within these ICE cells to children as young as two years old.”
