Trump administration puts new limits on Congress visits to immigration centers

  • New guidelines introduced this month have tightened rules on Congressional visits to ICE enforcement field offices, following incidents where access was denied and lawmakers faced arrests.
  • These restrictions follow multiple incidents where Democratic lawmakers were denied entry, detained, or arrested while trying to inspect immigration facilities.
  • For example, Rep. Dan Goldman and Rep. Jerrold Nadler were denied access to a holding facility on the 10th floor of the 26 Federal Plaza building, which ICE contests as a detention center.
  • ICE has sole authority to deny or cancel tours under five conditions and requires visitors to comply with security protocols, warning of arrest for circumventing rules; Rep. Goldman noted migrants are held overnight on floors after processing.
  • These developments highlight ongoing tensions over immigration enforcement transparency, with lawmakers planning legal action to enforce oversight rights against a backdrop of disputed detainee conditions and facility access.
