A federal judge has denied a motion filed by House Democrats who sought to block the Department of Homeland Security from enforcing a new policy that restricts federal lawmakers from visiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities without a seven-day notice.
In a Monday ruling, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb of Washington, D.C., determined DHS did not violate a prior court order she issued last month as alleged by the lead plaintiff, Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO). The previous order prohibited DHS from requiring one week’s notice from members of Congress requesting oversight visits at ICE facilities.
