Speaker Tobin & Majority Whip Gray Denied Access to Nogales Facility
According to a press release by the Arizona House of Representatives, Speaker of the House Andy Tobin and Majority Whip Rick Gray were denied access to the Nogales facility where about 750 unaccompanied alien children are being held. Media reports have cited concerns that the children are being held for longer than they should at the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility, which has been described as a refurbished warehouse with no indoor plumbing. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) bused the children from Texas to Arizona, and CBP is housing them in the Nogales facility until other accommodations become available.
The Speaker and Majority Whip drove down to inspect the facility Wednesday, June 11, 2014, but CBP denied them access. CBP told Speaker Tobin that he needed to give the agency a 72-hour notice. Speaker Tobin noted that Mesa Mayor Scott Smith was granted access to the facility Wednesday morning.
