Plaintiffs' attorneys are asking a federal judge to intervene after three Democratic members of Congress were blocked from visiting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Minnesota over the weekend. The lawyers on Monday asked U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., for an emergency hearing. They say the Trump administration secretly reimposed a policy limiting Congress members’ access to immigration detention facilities a day after Renee Good's fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Last month, Cobb temporarily blocked ICE from enforcing policies limiting Congress members’ access to immigration detention facilities.
