A Health and Human Services official refused to allow a member of Congress to enter a facility in his district where some one the unaccompanied immigrant children ae being housed.
Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla.) was told he could schedule an appointment for July 21. ““What are they trying to hide?” Bridenstine said after the incident. ”Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”
There are 1,200 immigrant children at the base. Bridenstine’s office explained that HHS releases the children to a “sponsor” in the United States. The congressman said that a security guard at the Fort Sill, Okla., facility refused to let him enter the barracks without HHS approval even though he is a member of Congress.

Under what law?
The most transparent administration at it again.
I’m sure the LSM will be all over this just as though Bush had done the same to a Dummycrat congressman.
His arrest would make a nice press debacle for the administration.
Come back with the sheriff and tell the feds to stuff it.
TIME TO IMPEACH THIS FASCIST!!!!!!
We have an entrenched government cabal of employees and contractors in this government who exist for themselves - not for this country and to its benefit. True mercenaries loyal to the Empire’s Emperor only. If you see someone who works for IRS, HHS, DHS, ATF, et al, they are your natural enemies.
what is obama’s government legion trying to hide???
He should have forced the issue.
Exactly!
US Congressman trumps HHS flunky x 10.
This clown should grow a pair and raise holy hell! He can go back to leadership and get this lifted TODAY, no problem. I know he won’t...
I hate the GOP
If this was at Ft. Silly, it is a military reservation. Different rules apply. The Sheriff doesn’t (I don’t think) have jurisdiction there.
He needs to go to the sheriff and forcibly enter.
“armed security guard shoots US Congressmen trying to enter Ft Sill facility allegedly housing over 1,000 illegal immigrants children”
maybe it was shower time with the staff
Anyone dressed in Contamination Suits ?
Obama’s BROWN SHIRTS in action. He promised it.
Yes, that is the question of the day. Does anyone know the annual budget for HHS?
$1 TRILLION - 1/4 of the entire federal government budget, greater than the whole economy of most countries.
HHS bureaucracy itself is patently unconstitutional. The size and most activities of the entire federal government are patently unconstitutional.
So can something illegal do something legal?
The bloated government and it's most bloated bureaucracy have long since abandoned the idea of "legality" and have decided IT is the law.
Even Jonestown felt required to allow a Congressman onto their compound in a foreign country, though they also killed the Congressman. So Hussein’s bunch is more megalomaniacal than crazyJim Jones, even.
Well that’s one congressman.
Where are the rest of them?
Well, then, up the game. The sheriff does have jurisdiction immediately outside the fort. Close access until compliance is achieved. Invest the place, in military parlance.
