💨 Abstract

Twelve Democratic lawmakers have sued the Trump administration for reportedly obstructing their visits to federal immigration detention centers. The lawsuit challenges a new DHS policy requiring seven days’ notice and limiting access. Lawmakers have previously reported overcrowding, neglect, and unlawful detentions in these facilities. Several have been denied entry, and tensions have escalated, with one lawmaker facing assault charges. The lawsuit argues that the administration's actions interfere with congressional oversight, violating federal law.
