A joint congressional investigation has been launched following ProPublica's revelations that at least 170 U.S. citizens were detained by immigration agents this year. The investigation, announced by Democrats in both the House and Senate, will examine how citizenship detentions occur and address allegations of misconduct by immigration officials. Rep. Robert Garcia and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass highlighted the disproportionate impact on Latino communities and demanded all records related to citizen treatment by immigration officials. ProPublica's findings include instances where citizens were physically mistreated and held without access to legal counsel or communication devices, often following raids or protests. The investigation aims to uncover details of these detentions and understand their funding and operations in Los Angeles and nationwide.
