Judge Blocks ICE From Silencing Lawmaker Visits

A federal judge has temporarily stopped a Trump administration policy for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The policy would have forced members of Congress to give one week's notice before visiting ICE detention centers. The ruling is a win for congressional oversight. It allows lawmakers to conduct surprise inspections of facilities holding migrants. The administration argued the rule was for security and scheduling. Critics called it an attempt to hide poor conditions by preventing unannounced visits. The judge's block is temporary. The court will now fully review the policy's legality.
