New Restrictions Limit Congressional Access to ICE Facilities Amid Outrage

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has introduced new restrictions on visits by lawmakers to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, requesting a 72-hour notice before any congressional visits. This move comes after several confrontations between Democratic members of Congress and ICE officials, leading to widespread outrage among lawmakers who argue that these limitations undermine oversight responsibilities. Democratic Representatives, including Nadler and Goldman, have been denied access to facilities, heightening tensions as they seek to inspect conditions where migrants are held. Critics argue that these moves are part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to evade scrutiny and accountability regarding immigration enforcement practices.
