""Troublingly, the pattern of U.S. Citizen arrests coincides with an alarming increase in racial profiling - particularly of Latinos - which has been well documented in Los Angeles," wrote Garcia and Senator Richard Blumenthal in a letter to Kristi Noem. "In a pattern symptomatic of a disregard for civil rights by DHS, U.S. citizens have faced extended periods of detention.""
"Bass and the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Robert Garcia, announced that congress will open up "a broad investigation" into arrests of U.S. citizens by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, as well as another investigation into immigration raids overall. The announcement was made Monday at a press conference at L.A. City Hall. "Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are terrorizing immigrants,"
Local and federal officials have initiated investigations into immigration enforcement actions tied to arrests of U.S. citizens and broad immigration raids. Congressional and Senate panels will probe alleged misconduct by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including reported detentions of at least 170 U.S. citizens and patterns of racial profiling, especially targeting Latinos. City leaders and Democrats cite extended detentions and civil rights concerns, and they have sent formal letters to officials including Kristi Noem. Witnessed enforcement scenes include armed agents in Los Angeles, protesters being arrested, and immigrants being dragged from vehicles, with similar actions reported elsewhere.
