Earlier this week, I finally received confirmation of the plan. Unfortunately, the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s response did not include answers to my detailed questions about the impact on our nation\u2019s military readiness and national security.\n\n\u201cI remain concerned on this use of Camp Atterbury given the deplorable and inhumane conditions at other ICE detention facilities nationwide. The number of ICE detainees \u2013 and the number of deaths in detention \u2013 have grown at alarmingly high rates since the start of President Trump\u2019s term, which in unacceptable. Also unacceptable is the apprehension and detention of US citizens. The Hoosier state should not facilitate these unlawful actions.\n\n\u201cICE is ripping families apart for offenses as minor as traffic tickets, and others are detained without having committed any crime at all. The fact that ICE has detained so many individuals that they now need to expand detention space in Indiana is disturbing. Without due process, anyone and everyone is at risk, including US citizens. These individuals are largely nonviolent, law-abiding, and taxpaying individuals who came to our country for a better life. Indiscriminate sweeps, racial profiling, and mass detainments are wasting our country\u2019s resources on cruel policies that do nothing to help our make our communities safer.\n\n\u201cThis is a dark time for our nation. I will continue fighting these unlawful, cruel policies and will actively monitor activities at Camp Atterbury to ensure humane and sanitary conditions.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://carson.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-carson-statement-use-camp-atterbury-ice-detainment"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.687415013089776, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
