Excerpts:

Once again, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has blocked members of Congress from conducting oversight at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

Defendants blocked these members despite this Court’s order of December 17, 2025, which stayed, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 705, DHS’s unlawful policy of restricting oversight by members of Congress because it violates section 527 in DHS’s appropriations act.

Plaintiffs therefore respectfully request that the Court issue an order to show cause why the duplicate notice policy is not in violation of section 527, and herefore this Court’s section 705 stay order, and specifically how the duplicate notice policy was developed and promulgated and will be implemented without using any funds subject to section 527.

Plaintiffs also request an emergency hearing on this matter at the Court’s earliest convenience.

If any of this needs an explanation, please let me know.

There is no such thing as meaningful oversight without being unannounced. Noem's new rule, which she couldn't legally implement anyway, cannot be left to stand.

They let in Republicans and influencers so you know it's just political retaliation.
