DHS restricts congressional visits to ICE facilities in Minneapolis with new policy

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, joined by Rep. Kelly Morrison (L) and Rep. Angie Craig (R) arrive outside of the regional ICE headquarters at the Whipple Federal Building on Saturday in Minneapolis. The Democratic congresswomen were granted access to the facility initially, but were quickly asked to leave by officials there.

A memo from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, obtained by NPR, instructs her staff that visits should be requested at least seven days in advance.
