Jamie Raskin Sues Trump For Blocking Access To Federal Immigration Facilities

In a dramatic turn of events, House Democrats are rallying to confront what they describe as unlawful actions by the Trump administration.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, the esteemed Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, is leading a coalition of House members in a lawsuit against the Trump-Vance Administration. This legal action challenges the administration’s alleged illegal obstruction of congressional oversight, particularly concerning federal immigration detention facilities where both citizens and noncitizens have reportedly faced detention without due process.

The crux of the matter lies in a newly imposed policy that hinders these lawmakers from accessing vital information necessary for fulfilling their constitutional duty. This policy obstructs oversight of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), raising concerns about compliance with federal law and transparency regarding the expenditure of taxpayer dollars. Notably, the administration has introduced a seven-day waiting period and restricted access to detention facilities, defying a federal statute that expressly forbids such limitations.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, insists on adherence to federal law which guarantees congressional members the right to oversee any DHS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sites without prior notice.

Among the plaintiffs are prominent figures such as Assistant Democratic Leader Joe Neguse, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat, and several other committee ranking members and representatives who share concerns about the treatment of detained individuals.

With the administration detaining over 58,000 individuals—amidst increasing reports of mistreatment, overcrowded conditions, and even the detention of U.S. citizens—the urgency for immediate oversight is palpable. Alarmingly, eleven individuals have died in immigration custody in the first half of this administration. The recent mass layoffs of internal oversight personnel by DHS exacerbate fears of misconduct and potential abuse.

As ordinary citizens rise to the occasion, intervening against ICE detentions on the streets, it becomes increasingly essential for members of Congress to gain access to immigration facilities.
