Democrats Sue ICE Over Detention Facility Access Restrictions

A group of twelve House Democrats have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, specifically targeting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The lawsuit stems from a new DHS policy that reportedly barred these lawmakers from visiting immigration detention facilities. The Democrats contend that this policy is an illegal violation of their constitutional right to conduct congressional oversight, as federal law generally allows members of Congress and their staff to visit such facilities for oversight purposes without prior notification or restriction.
