💨 Abstract

A dozen Democratic congressmembers filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, seeking immediate and unannounced access to ICE detention centers. They claim that ICE and DHS are obstructing Congressional oversight amid reports of overcrowding and mistreatment. The lawsuit argues that Congress must ensure funds are used efficiently and legally, and that recent site visits by members were blocked despite their legal rights. ICE countered that requests should be made with sufficient notice to prevent interference with the President's authority.
