This was already struck down by a federal court last month. Directly after, we visited the Aurora ICE facility to ensure they were following the order. Now, Sec. Noem has found a loophole. We’ve fought this before, we’ll fight this again. Congressional oversight is constitutionally required.

NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govJan 13(source)
We met with leaders from the Latino community in Denver to hear more about how we can work together to advance affordable health care, fight for economic policies for working families, and push back on Trump’s cruel immigration policies.
Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govJan 12(source)
People across the West cherish our public lands. For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected millions of acres of our forests. In the face of Trump’s efforts to repeal this rule and sell our public lands, we’ll always keep fighting to protect these lands for future generations.
Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govJan 11(source)
Americans are struggling with the soaring cost of housing, health care, and groceries in Trump’s economy. The mere talk of invading Greenland betrays American values, threatens NATO, and exposes this administration’s failure to put working people first.
Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govJan 9(source)
The House passed a bipartisan three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that Republicans voted to cut just last summer. It’s the critical next step in making sure all Americans have access to affordable, accessible, and universal health care. The Senate needs to vote on this ASAP.

Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govJan 8(source)
This is D.C. at its worst. Every single U.S. House member supported this bill to bring clean water to Southeastern CO before Christmas — Democrats & Republicans. But they refused to stick to their guns & override Trump’s retaliatory veto. Rural Colorado is paying the price for these political games.

NEW: House Republicans uphold President Trump’s veto of a clean drinking water project in Colorado. The bill passed Congress unanimously last year. Two-thirds were needed for an override. Trump has promised “harsh measures” against Colorado over false election rigging claims.
Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govJan 8(source)
The House will vote today on overriding President Trump’s veto of our bipartisan, unanimous Arkansas Valley Conduit bill. Rural water projects shouldn’t be used as political weapons. Congress must stand up to Trump’s intimidation and override this veto.
Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govJan 8(source)
Every single Senator and every single House member voted for our Arkansas Valley Conduit bill. But then Trump vetoed it. Trump is leaving real people out to dry for his own political grievances and making our rural communities pay the price.
Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govJan 8(source)
From @bennet.senate.gov and I in @ms.now: “It’s southeast Colorado today, but if we allow basic infrastructure projects to be used as a political weapon, it could be your community tomorrow.” www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
Opinion | We fought hard for this Colorado water project. Congress needs to override Trump's veto.
Sens. Hickenlooper and Bennet: While the administration focuses on international brinkmanship and personal grievances, American families' basic needs are treated like an afterthought.
Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govJan 7(source)
The footage out of Minneapolis is horrifying. ICE cannot continue their rein of terror across this country. Countless families separated and today a woman killed. We need an immediate, independent investigation into this shooting.

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile. ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.
