- Congressional field hearings in Los Angeles will scrutinize federal immigration agents' illegal detention of U.S. citizens and immigrants.
- The hearings respond to a joint letter highlighting 170 wrongful detentions of U.S. citizens reported by ProPublica.
- The Department of Homeland Security’s $170.7 billion immigration budget lacks detailed congressional oversight on spending.
- These hearings aim to publicly record civil rights abuses and may set a precedent for similar investigations nationwide.
The hearings won’t do much to stop the raids, sadly, but it’ll be an opportunity to at least enter into the historical record what is happening.— Gustavo Arellano, columnist for the Los Angeles Times, on what the hearings will mean for the city of Los Angeles.
