Twelve Democratic members of Congress sued the Trump administration on Wednesday, accusing immigration officials of blocking their access to detention facilities housing noncitizens.
In a complaint filed in Washington, D.C., federal court, the House lawmakers challenged a new Department of Homeland Security policy requiring seven days’ notice for visits, and deeming some facilities including Immigration and Customs Enforcement field offices “off-limits for congressional oversight.”
“Such blatant disregard for both the law and the constitutional order by the Trump administration warrants a serious and decisive response,” Neguse said in a statement. His Colorado district includes Boulder and other Denver suburbs.
The defendants include DHS, ICE, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and acting ICE director Todd Lyons.
It took them long enough, but I suppose better late than never.
Democrats finally starting to learn that Trump literally wants a Trump Nation, not Right, not LEft, Trump?
