A Florida congresswoman was blocked from visiting two USPS mail sorting facilities amid concerns for delayed mail delivery

To contend to these concerns and inspect the facilities, Wasserman Schultz arrived early morning for a 4 am tour of a mail processing and distribution center in Opa-Locka, which is within 20 minutes driving distance of Miami, according to The Washington Post. The Post reported that the parking lot entry was roped off with caution tape and local postal service officials told Wasserman that USPS leadership had ordered them to prevent her from entry.

Wasserman Schultz was denied entry again at 6:30 am when she visited a different sorting facility in Miami, The Post reported. A spokesperson for USPS said that they did not allow the congresswoman from entering because she did not notify them with enough time in advance, according to NBC News. A congressional aid said that they had notified the USPS early afternoon of the day before her visit, and explained they intentionally requested on short notice for fear that facilities would hide problems during the congresswoman's visit, NBC News reported.

"Denying Congress access to the facilities is denying the vital public oversight of our mail system," Wasserman Schultz told NBC News.

Trump is destroying USPS.

If u really believe the Postal service put 10k in an envelope and mail it to a friend. You won't cz you don't trust it

LouisDeJoy move is such a gangster move. 2PAC told us about how the government is the biggest gang in the US. Our country is broken bcuz these MFs won’t work together.

Even if you’re right and you thought you were doing something good the way you went about it makes me very nervous as to how politicians use their power. The United States Postal Service should be as secure as a bank or more.

Strategic planning working out for corporate sellout Trump

No one can be trusted right now. She had no business being there. Typical demonrat.
