Mark Morgan, the acting director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was asked directly about AOC’s comments that the agency is housing people in “concentration camps,” drawing parallels to Nazi Germany.
He said about AOC’s comments, “it's completely inappropriate, it's reckless, it's irresponsible, it's misinformed, and it's flat-out wrong”.He added that "there is so much oversight at these facilities. We have [Inspector General] report after IG report. We have nongovernment organization, NGOs, that are constantly providing double-check on that, which we should.I encourage the check and balance, I encourage inspections.I feel very satisfied that if you go to these facilities, whether it's a border patrol facility or an [Health and Human Services] facility or an ICE facility that there will be safe and adequate conditions to detain individuals."
