A federal judge on Monday temporarily lifted restrictions from the Department of Homeland Security<\/a> that limited lawmakers\u2019 visits to immigration detention facilities.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., justified a temporary restraining order on the policy by concluding that ICE likely violated funding restrictions and that its policy causes irreparable harm.<\/p>\n

The judge\u2019s order stated that the court previously found that the DHS policy requiring advance notice for congressional\u00a0oversight visits to ICE detention facilities<\/a> “imposes irreparable harm” on lawmakers, “denying them the ability to carry out timely oversight of covered facilities.”<\/p>\n

“If anything, the strength of that finding has become greater over the intervening weeks, given that ICE\u2019s enforcement and detention practices have become the focus of intense national and congressional interest,” the order stated. “And as before, the public interest and the balance of equitable considerations weigh strongly in favor of granting Plaintiffs the limited preliminary relief of a temporary restraining order.”<\/p>\n

In the lawsuit, House Democrats had asked the judge to block<\/a> the new directive from Homeland Security Secretary Noem, arguing in a court filing that the policy is politically motivated and violates federal spending law and a prior court stay.<\/p>\n

Last month, Cobb refused to block the Trump administration<\/a> from enforcing the policy requiring members of Congress to give a week\u2019s notice before visiting immigration detention facilities, stating that attorneys for the plaintiffs used the wrong “procedural vehicle” to challenge it.<\/p>\n

In December, Cobb temporarily blocked an administration oversight visit policy. She ruled on Dec. 17 that it is\u00a0likely illegal\u00a0for ICE to demand a week\u2019s notice from members of Congress\u00a0seeking\u00a0to visit and\u00a0observe\u00a0conditions in ICE facilities.<\/p>\n
