AI Summary

long article 4 min

Congressional Democrats held a forum on Capitol Hill to hear testimony from US citizens who allege they were harmed by federal immigration agents. The forum included accounts from the brothers of Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis in January, and three other citizens who described violent encounters with agents, including shootings and false accusations. Luke Ganger, Good's brother, expressed distress over his sister's death and the subsequent shooting of a protester by border patrol agents in Minneapolis. Marimar Martinez recounted being shot multiple times by a border patrol agent, who then allegedly circulated photos of her injuries. Democrats vowed to pursue accountability and justice for those affected by these incidents.
