About this episode

A federal appeals court blocks a Trump administration policy requiring advance notice for Congress visits to immigration detention centers.

A federal appeals court in D.C. upholds a lower courts block on the Trump administrations policy requiring seven days notice for Congress to visit immigration detention centers. The policy, aimed at preventing surprise checks, was deemed unlawful as it violates a law in the 2024 appropriations act. Lawmakers argue for the need for unannounced visits to hold ICE accountable, while the administration claims they disrupt staff and security. One judge suggests the plaintiffs may not have standing to sue, but the full appeal continues, leaving room for the administration to present stronger evidence later.
