On Monday, a federal judge once again struck down a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy requiring Congressmembers to give a week’s notice before visiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities. 

According to NBC News, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb found that the 13 Democratic lawmakers who filed the case against DHS would likely succeed in arguing that the seven-day notice exceeded the federal government’s authority and was likely illegal.
