Noem tightens congressional access to ICE detention centers after Minnesota shooting
TL;DR Summary
Noem announced a policy requiring seven‑days’ advance notice and her personal approval for congressional visits to ICE detention facilities, citing safety concerns after an ICE officer killed a Minnesota mother. The move repeats a funding workaround linked to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and comes amid ongoing legal battles, including a federal judge’s stay that previously allowed unannounced access as lawmakers press for oversight; three Minnesota Democrats were blocked from a facility amid the dispute.
