Judge nixes latest policy requiring 7 days' notice for Congress members to visit ICE facilities

A federal judge blocked a Trump-era rule that would have forced members of Congress to give a week’s notice before visiting ICE detention facilities, finding lawmakers are likely to win their legal challenge.
The court said DHS offered no concrete safety reasons for the rule and noted that a nearly identical policy was secretly reinstated after an ICE officer’s deadly shooting in Minneapolis—three Minnesota Democrats were briefly turned away from an ICE site.
Judge Jia Cobb also found it “highly likely” the administration used restricted funds to impose the rule, saying the government can’t lawfully bar members from oversight visits.

Heads-up: The Summit League is a 9-team Midwest mid‑major and its conference tourney starts March 4 (8/9 play-in). On the men’s side the automatic bid is probably the only March Madness route — top seed North Dakota State leads the pack but isn’t untouchable.
Men’s quick take: North Dakota State and St. Thomas finished atop the standings but both have defensive holes and have been upset by middle teams (Denver, Omaha), so expect potential bubble-busting results in the tournament.
Women’s must-watch: South Dakota State and North Dakota State are both top‑50 NET teams and feature stars Brooklyn Meyer and Avery Koenen (insane PERs); if they meet in the final both could make a strong case for March Madness, otherwise the automatic bid likely decides it.
