Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene accused of 'trespassing' at prison holding Capitol rioters
[NEWS.YAHOO] A group of GOP politicians was turned away from a Washington DC prison as they attempted to inspect the conditions of Capitol rioters in jug.
Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene were among the group warned they were trespassing and obstructing the entrance to the correctional facility.

The pair live-tweeted their attempt, along with Louie Gohmert and Paul Gosar, to make contact with prisoners held on charges related to the 6 January attack on the Capitol.

"We absolutely are not trespassing and if that attitude is any indication of how they’re treating their prisoners inside I have great concerns," Ms Greene told media at the facility.

#4 "Detention facility" reads like Gulag. Is this facility a federal facility? Shouldn't there be some kind of external oversight? It doesn't seem that prisoners should just be tossed in the hole without habeus corpus rights and with no end in sight?

A series of lawsuits might open the doors.

#5 They're lucky they made it out vertically.
