Minneapolis shooting Congress visit ICE.

A federal judge has refused to temporarily block the Trump administration from enforcing a new policy requiring members of Congress to give a week’s notice before they can visit immigration detention facilities. U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb concluded that the Department of Homeland Security didn’t violate an earlier court order when it reimposed a seven-day notice requirement for congressional oversight visits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Cobb said she wasn’t ruling on whether the new policy passes legal muster. Rather, she said, plaintiffs’ attorneys representing several Democratic members of Congress used the wrong procedural vehicle to challenge it.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys are asking a federal judge to intervene after three Democratic members of Congress were blocked from visiting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Minnesota over the weekend. The lawyers on Monday asked U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., for an emergency hearing. They say the Trump administration secretly reimposed a policy limiting Congress members’ access to immigration detention facilities a day after Renee Good’s fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Last month, Cobb temporarily blocked ICE from enforcing policies limiting Congress members’ access to immigration detention facilities.
