A judge blocked a Trump-era rule requiring advance notice for Congress visits to ICE facilities, calling it likely illegal and an overreach of power.
A Trump administration policy requiring Congressmen to give seven days' notice before visiting ICE detention facilities was blocked by federal judge Jia Cobb, who ruled that it was probably unlawful and went beyond the bounds of governmental authority.
The ruling was made in March 2026 in response to a lawsuit filed by thirteen Democratic lawmakers who contested Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's rule.
Cobb concluded that the policy probably violated a law that forbids the use of general funds to limit congressional oversight and found no evidence of safety risks from surprise visits.
Three Minnesota lawmakers were denied access after the rule was covertly reinstated just one day after an ICE officer shot and killed a man in Minneapolis.
According to their lawyers, the new policy was not made public until after the incident.
Biden's nominee Cobb underlined that the administration must abide by earlier court decisions and legal precepts.
