Quiver AI Summary

On August 20, 2025, Vice President of Policy Rob Menéndez and Chairman Adriano Espaillat led a coalition of 21 members from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in urging the Department of Homeland Security to immediately end restrictions on oversight of ICE detention centers. They assert that new protocols impede Congress's legal oversight duties.

In a letter addressed to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the lawmakers criticized the new requirement of a seven-day notice for visits, claiming it violates federal law. Menéndez stated, "Our duty under the law is clear: we have the right to oversee ICE detention centers."

The move follows reports of unsafe conditions in ICE facilities nationwide. The caucus is demanding accountability and emphasized the importance of oversight to ensure that detainees are treated with dignity and taxpayer funds are properly allocated.
