WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration secretly reimposed a policy limiting Congress members’ access to immigration detention facilities a day after a federal immigration officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis, attorneys for several congressional Democrats said Monday in asking a federal judge to intervene.
Three Democratic members of Congress from Minnesota were blocked from visiting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility near Minneapolis on Saturday, three days after an ICE officer shot and killed U.S. citizen Renee Good in the city.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., temporarily blocked ICE from enforcing policies limiting Congress members’ access to immigration detention facilities. In a court filing on Monday, plaintiffs’ lawyers asked Cobb to hold an emergency hearing and decide if the duplicate notice policy violates her order. Cobb scheduled a hearing for Wednesday.
I know you mean well, what you’re saying is just the escalation of “if we try to do [good thing] they’ll just do [thing they’re already going to do]”
There are only two options, Americans go to war against the government, or America goes to war against everyone else. Either way democracy has failed. There will be no 2026 elections. When he illegally cancels the election by executive order and Congress does nothing, like has been happening for the entirety of 2025, who will stop him? No one.
You can rise up now, you can wait for the elections to be cancelled to rise up, or you can never rise up… always postponing your personal red line. No matter what you do, stop impeding other leftists who have chosen to act from acting. We need at least this most basic level of solidarity where we don’t stop each other from fighting fascism.
