In 2024, Congress passed a law that allows members of Congress to visit detention facilities without providing any prior notice. DHS has repeatedly violated this law. They have stopped members of Congress from entering detention facilities to conduct oversight visits. GEO Group and DHS have not only blocked members of Congress from entering their buildings, they have also blocked the State of New Jersey and the City of Newark from conducting their own oversight. The Governor has called for the facility to be closed. The City of Newark has sued geo. The New Jersey Attorney General successfully sued GEO so that health inspectors must be allowed into the facility. (03:52–04:06)
