Congressman Ruiz stopped from doing his job.

July 13, 2025 by Diane Wagner

Congressman Raul Ruiz and Congresswoman Norma Torres were ILLEGALLY DENIED entry into the Adelanto ICE Facility. He explains:
Under federal law, Members of Congress have the right to access any DHS facility used to detain immigrants, no notice required. Out of courtesy we still gave them notice. This isn’t just a door being closed. It’s a violation of oversight, accountability, and your right to transparency. I won’t back down. Our communities deserve answers.

Congressman Ruiz is one of the ten professionals featured in the documentary short film Told They Can’t. Because young Raul was given opportunities when he was young, he’s able to do important work for our country now.
