“ICE is the only criminal investigative agency, the only enforcement agency in the United States, that has a bed quota. So ICE is required to fill 34,000 beds with detainees every single night and that number has only been increasing since 2009.” — in an interview with the Intercepted podcast, May 30
As our friends at PolitiFact documented, this is an urban legend. There is language in the 2016 appropriations bill that requires ICE to have 34,000 beds available — ICE “shall maintain a level of not less than 34,000 detention beds through September 30, 2016” — but it is not required to fill them.

Occasional-Cotex for Speaker of the House.
Politifact, et al, must be really bummed at having to ‘factcheck’ her. But can you just imagine the reporting, if a Conservative had been caught trying to pass off this bs as truth?
So she’s a liberal that tells lies to get support from idiot liberals.
How very Obama of her.
Obama: 10,000 people killed in a Kansas tornado.

12 people, actually. 12 too many, of course, but 12.
And idiot liberals voted for this guy not just once but TWICE.
It surprises me to see WAPO slamming her like this. Somebody must have decided she is too much of a liability.
Facts/truth do not matter to the left. The lies, half truths, misinformation etc only need to be seeded into empty vessel liberal brains and like magic, it becomes “fact” and Fake News.
Gotta agree with her we don’t need those beds. Why keep them overnight? Punt them over the border immediately.
“It surprises me to see WAPO slamming her like this.”
The smart money is on Crowley winning as an independent and retaining his seat. She only won with 5% of the vote.
Typical that a democrat twists the truth to make the Presidental administration look bad! This lady twists everything.
