Judge allows Trump administration to block lawmakers’ access to ICE facilities and the DOJ is fighting other rulings (www.theguardian.com)

A federal judge in Washington DC ruled that the homeland security department (DHS) can continue to insist that lawmakers provide a week’s notice of their intention to inspect immigration facilities, even though she blocked an identical policy last month.

Separately, justice department lawyers urged a district court judge in Minneapolis to allow the administration’s immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota to continue, in response to a lawsuit filed by the state seeking to end what it called a “federal invasion”.

And in a related development, the justice department said it was appealing an injunction issued on Friday curbing aggressive tactics by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies in dealing with protesters.

Such a braindead ruling.

Some business should use this when ICE comes knocking at their door — “Oh, didn’t you hear? Surprise visits from the government aren’t allowed anymore. You have to give me enough advance warning to prepare for your visit. In writing.”

I'm not condoning what this judge ruled, but our representatives need to continually schedule one-week notice visits. Just every day, another representative is planned to visit. They don't even need to follow through on every visit just keep ICE on their fucking toes if they're gonna be blocking representatives from doing their goddamn job.

Yep, follow the rules maliciously. Do that across the board.

Minnesota, get your evidence back from the FBI. As someone said yesterday, they stopped looking into Renee Good's death.
