Enraged Democrats plan to ramp up ICE visits after McIver charges

In their fury over the Trump administration's charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.), House Democrats are planning to ramp up oversight visits to ICE facilities, Axios has learned.

The prosecution effort has, to a shocking degree, galvanized Democrats on an issue that perennially divides them — with even the party's centrist border hawks railing against it.

Several House Democratic groups have discussed organizing oversight visits to ICE facilities during the next week's recess, multiple lawmakers familiar with the conversations told Axios.

In addition to group trips, some individual House Democrats are already talking about making their own visits to nearby ICE facilities while back in their districts over the Memorial Day break.
