House Democrats Sue After Being Denied Entry to ICE Facilities
UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – House Democrats challenge policy mandating detention without bail and restricted ICE facility access amid a surge to double detention capacity to 100,000 people, citing legal violations.
- A class-action lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C., challenges the Trump administration’s policy, targeting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the Adelanto immigration court in California.
- On July 8, a memo signed by acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons requires unauthorized immigrants to remain detained throughout proceedings, citing its 'extraordinarily broad' authority.
- The legal battle follows a surge in detentions and ICE's push to double daily capacity to 100,000, with Matt Adams saying 'The statute makes clear that they are entitled to a bond hearing'.
- Immigrant rights groups argue the shift unlawfully denies individuals their right to a bond hearing and violates due process, with Alfredo Juarez Zeferino saying 'They make it more difficult so people just leave.'
- On Wednesday, House Democrats sued, arguing DHS has blocked real-time inspections and requiring at least seven days' notice violates law, say members including Joe Neguse and Bennie Thompson.
