Democratic lawmakers sue DHS after being denied access to detention centers

UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – The lawsuit challenges a DHS policy requiring seven-day advance notice and accuses ICE of blocking unannounced visits amid reports of overcrowding and detainee deaths, with over 56,000 held nationwide.

  • Democratic lawmakers argue that without oversight, the administration may be hiding abusive practices, and the lawsuit seeks to restore transparency and accountability.
