Lawyers allegedly alleged that the new rule of the ministry had violated article 527 of the DHS 2024 credits bill, as incorporated by the continuous resolution of the 2025 exercise, which indicated that the government could not force the legislators to “provide a prior opinion of the intention to penetrate a [DHS] ease.”
This clause is not out of the ordinary – Congress has adopted a similar law each year since 2019, always proving that no fund appropriate to the DHS “can be used to prevent” a member of the Congress from carrying out a surveillance visit in such an installation. Since Donald Trump entered the White House, however, each of the 12 complainants said they had been prevented from entering a DHS establishment in person.
The complainants included representatives Joe Neguse, Adriano Espailt, Bennie G. Thompson, Jamie Raskin, Robert Garcia, J. Luis Correa, Jason Crow, Veronica Escobar, Daniel S. Goldman, Jimmy Gomez, Raul Ruiz and Norma Torres.
