ICE
Trump-Era Policy Restricts Congress From Unannounced Immigration Center Visits
Anthony Lane
A new Trump-era policy requiring 72-hour notice for congressional visits to ICE facilities has ignited a firestorm, pitting the administration against lawmakers who call it an illegal obstruction of oversight. Citing security, DHS restricted access, particularly to field offices. Critics argue this violates federal law and creates a "smokescreen" to hide conditions from the public. This clash raises fundamental questions about government transparency, accountability, and the constitutional balance of power in the United States. Sources
