A judge blocked DHS’s 7-day notice rule for congressional visits to ICE facilities, citing violation of oversight funding protections.
A federal judge, Jia Cobb, blocked the Department of Homeland Security’s requirement for a seven-day notice before congressional visits to ICE detention facilities, ruling the policy likely violates a funding rider that protects lawmakers’ oversight rights.
The decision, issued on February 2, 2026, reaffirms a prior injunction and finds DHS improperly used funds to restrict access, despite claiming a separate budget source.
The ruling allows unannounced inspections, citing the need for timely oversight amid rising scrutiny of detention conditions and detainee deaths.
The temporary order lasts 14 days, with further proceedings pending.
