Three Democratic members of Congress, including Ilhan Omar, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Minnesota on Saturday.

A federal judge previously ruled Congress members cannot be barred from such visits. The incident occurred amid ongoing demonstrations following the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent earlier in the week.
