Description
Federal Judge Blocks ICEs Seven-Day Notice Rule for Congressional Detention Center VisitsA federal judge in Washington D.C. has temporarily halted the government from enforcing rules that limited how members of Congress could visit immigration detention centers. The judge ruled that its likely illegal for ICE to demand a full weeks notice from lawmakers wanting to observe conditions inside these facilities. This decision came after a lawsuit challenging these restrictions, filed by twelve Democratic members of Congress who were turned away from detention facilities and questioned a rule preventing them from visiting ICE field offices without notice. The judge rejected government lawyers arguments and sided with the congressional plaintiffs, emphasizing the importance of immediate access for oversight and ensuring lawmakers can effectively monitor these facilities without undue delays.
