A federal judge again ordered authorities to grant two Colorado congressmen and their colleagues unannounced access to immigration detention centers Monday.

The ruling is the latest blow to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s monthslong effort to slow congressional oversight of the facilities.

The temporary restraining order applied by U.S. District Court Judge Jia M. Cobb will once again allow members of Congress to access detention centers — like the one in Aurora — without prior notice to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

Every Democratic member of Congress from Colorado called for U.S. Secretary of Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem to resign after Border Patrol agents shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. The legislators say U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is a lawless, rogue agency terrorizing Americans. 

AURORA | The office of Aurora Democratic Rep. Jason Crow will hold a job fair today aimed at connecting job seekers with a wide range of employers from across the region.

The event is scheduled 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Arapahoe County Community College’s Summit Room, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. Attendees were encouraged to register in advance, but anyone is welcome, Crow officials said.

WASHINGTON - Colorado U.S. Rep. Jason Crow and other Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video urging members of the military to resist "illegal orders" confirmed Wednesday that they are under investigation from the Trump administration, a remarkable step by the Justice Department that comes after the president accused the lawmakers of sedition for their words.

Washington — Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado has been contacted by the Justice Department about a video he and a group of lawmakers recorded that urged U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders, marking the latest escalation in the Trump administration's efforts against the Democrats.

AURORA | Aurora Democratic Congressperson Jason Crow and a group of Democratic colleagues are returning to federal court to challenge what they say is a renewed effort by the Trump administration to “secretly” block unannounced congressional oversight of immigration detention facilities, according to a statement issued by Crow Monday.

Crow and fellow Democratic lawmakers are asking the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to intervene after the Department of Homeland Security quietly issued a memo requiring members of Congress to give seven days’ notice before visiting federal immigration detention centers.

In December 2003, Jason Crow landed in the Baltimore airport on a Delta flight from Kuwait. 

Christmas music played in the terminal. The airport was decorated for the holidays. Families were preparing for holiday travel. 

Before the flight from Kuwait, Crow had left Baghdad on a military flight. Before the military flight, Crow’s transport had been ambushed, and a firefight ended in the deaths of several Iraqi soldiers. Before that, Crow led a platoon of Army paratroopers on over 100 combat missions during the U.S. invasion of Iraq throughout 2003.
