From Washington Examiner:
A memo released this month by Immigration and Customs Enforcement asks lawmakers to request visits to immigration field offices at least 72 hours in advance.
The guidance comes as several Democrats have recently denounced the federal agency for denying them access to ICE facilities, where illegal immigrants are being held.
In the new memo, ICE says it retains the power to “deny a request or otherwise cancel, reschedule or terminate a tour or visit” by members of Congress or their staff under certain circumstances.
According to the report, congressmen have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits at immigration facilities that “detain or otherwise house aliens,” but ICE says its field offices are not under the same rules as its detention centers.
Just because you’re a congressprick doesn’t mean you can go wherever you want. Call Tom Homan and make an appointment

ICE says members of Congress must ask permission days in advance before visiting certain facilities. But that’s not what the law says. https://t.co/4KRhxir0xA
