13 OUTLETSOutlets on both sides report that Rep. Ilhan Omar and two Minnesota colleagues were denied further access to a Minneapolis ICE facility during an oversight visit after initially entering. Center outlets largely recount the access dispute and often include DHS’s advance-notice rationale alongside the lawmakers’ oversight claims.
