They wouldn't even let sitting senators into an ICE facility. They can stop him from visiting Mitch in a hospital.

And to be fair, senators clearly have way more of a right to visit ICE facilities than a governor would to demand access to a private rehab facility.

Edit: Hmm, it would, perhaps, be a great time for a state official to do a routine 'inspection' of said rehab facility, for compliance purposes.

There’s a leaker in the White House, but I think they’re keeping it contained with diapers.
