After being denied access twice in October, members of Congress including Reps. Juan Vargas, Scott Peters, and Sara Jacobs, along with Sen. Alex Padilla, were granted permission to tour an ICE detention facility in the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building in November following the end of the federal shutdown. The delegation had raised concerns about detainees held in basement facilities without adequate access to attorneys, medical care, or nutrition, and cited ICE's unlawful requirement of seven days' notice instead of the legally required 48 hours.
