A dozen congressional Democrats are suing the Trump administration for limiting access to ICE detention facilities.

A dozen members of Congress who have been blocked from making oversight visits at immigration detention centers are suing the Trump administration to ensure they are granted entry into the facilities,

Twelve Democratic members of Congress sued the Trump administration on Wednesday, accusing immigration officials of blocking their access to detention facilities housing noncitizens.

“Backed by significant new funding through the recently signed One Big Beautiful Bill, ICE is rolling out patriotic recruitment posters and benefits to attract the next generation of law enforcement professionals to find, arrest, and remove criminal illegal aliens,” DHS said in a statement.

The agency is promising up to $50,000 in signing bonuses, the potential for lots of overtime for deportation officers and other benefits such as loan repayment or forgiveness options. All of this is made possible by a big infusion of money to ICE.

ICE accused the police department in Old Orchard Beach of “knowingly” hiring an immigrant who is in the country illegally, which the police chief denied.
