... U.S Representative Emily Randall, of Washington's Sixth District, stated that on Saturday, during an unannounced visit to the Northwest ICE Processing Center (NWIPC) in Tacoma, she was denied entry, despite having legal protections to do so.

“I cited the statute multiple times to make sure that they understood they were breaking the law, and they said, 'Well, your previous visits have not been on a weekend.'”

Randall says she had been to the NWIPC three times in 2025, with two of those visits being pre-planned and one of them being unannounced. Each of those times, she was allowed entry.
