Subramanyam, Beyer, Walkinshaw Conduct Unannounced Oversight Visit at Chantilly ICE Facility

August 7, 2026 Press Release Chantilly, VA – U.S. Representatives Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) , Don Beyer (VA-08) and James Walkinshaw (VA-11), released the following statement after conducting an unannounced oversight visit yesterday evening at ICE’s temporary holding facility in Chantilly, Virginia. “We exercised our right to direct congressional oversight over ICE facilities after hearing reports of overcrowding and lengthy stays at a facility designed for temporary processing. At the time of our visit, we did not witness overcrowding. ICE staff asserted that they are complying with a recent court order limiting stays at temporary processing facilities like Chantilly to 12 hours. Our oversight does not end with one visit. We will continue monitoring this facility and holding ICE accountable to ensure everyone in its custody is treated humanely and in accordance with the law.”
