A judge upheld ICE's policy limiting lawmakers' access to detention facilities, citing security and operations.

A federal judge has rejected a new legal challenge by Congressmembers Diana DeGette and Joe Neguse, along with Representative Mark Crow, against a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy restricting visits to detention facilities. The ruling upholds the current policy, which limits access for lawmakers and other officials, citing national security and operational concerns. The decision marks the latest setback for the lawmakers, who have previously contested the policy in court.
