6. The distinction is between Congress and members of Congress

If the committee votes to send a delegation (including a delegation of one) to an ICE facility to conduct oversight… it cannot be turned away (beyond very minimal process like giving 24 hours notice).

But if an individual member shows up without that vote (as was the case here) - he isn’t performing oversight. He’s just performing.

Just like the speech above. If he sends Noem a demand for her testimony… it has no force or effect. Which is why he’s asking the committee to vote to subpoena her.
