In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.
And here in NYC today another shocking escalation by Trump.
The law *explicitly allows* unannounced visits by congressmembers to federal facilities.
This is yet another breach of democratic norms by an increasingly rogue administration. Don't normalize this.
