Representative Madeleine Dean of Glenside recently traveled to the Moshannon Valley Processing Center, an immigration detention facility in Clearfield County, The Reporter said.

According to their coverage, last month Dean and two congressional staffers conducted an oversight visit to the facility which houses 1,656 individuals, 1,621 of which are men.

“My expectations were to see what the conditions are, to see the people, to see the humanity there, and to ask the question why are these people being detained,” Dean told The Reporter. She reportedly characterized the facility as “warehousing human beings for money and dehumanization.”

On June 23, she posted the following:

In March, our Commonwealth and community sounded the alarm: no inhumane warehousing of people in Berks or Schuylkill.

Now, ICE is backing down.

Accountability doesn’t stop here — what I witnessed in Moshannon, Philadelphia, and Dilley demands more from this administration.

In January, she petitioned Senators John Fetterman and Dave McCormick to oppose Department of Homeland Security funding that does not include “critical” immigration reforms.

In related news, Dean recently appeared on MSNOW to voice her thoughts on the Freedom Fuel Network’s new gas stations.

A clip from the interview:

From her post:

I’m happy if our families can save at the pump.

Yet while President Trump touts “affordable” Freedom Fuel stations, prices are still too high for gas, groceries, healthcare, and more.

Americans are hurting and this administration isn’t doing enough to help.
