The U.S. Department of Homeland Security put new restrictions on congressional lawmakers' access to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities after several Democratic lawmakers have been denied access, and in some cases, arrested.
Under the new protocol, members of Congress are asked to provide notice of impending visit to any ICE facility at least 72 hours in advance. That request is in addition to existing requirements for office staffers to provide 24 hours' notice of visits, The Washington Post reports.
