Judicial Watch Sues DHS

Judicial Watch sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for access to footage of a violent attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Texas.
The suit followed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request ICE did not respond to.
A federal judge blocked a DHS policy requiring lawmakers to provide a week's notice before visiting immigration detention centers, emphasizing timely oversight amid interest in ICE practices.
