Congresspeople have every right to conduct oversight - whenever, announced, or unannounced - at any ICE facility.
Noem is running DHS as if respect for the law isn't part of her job. Does she respect the role of Congress as a coequal branch of government? Don't worry, I'll ask her May 14th.

Trump and Noem opened an ICE detention center in Newark without permission and in clear violation of the city's ordinances. And when confronted by Mayor Baraska, they did what authoritarians do.
They arrested and disappeared him.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
