Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has launched a fiery call for Congress to investigate federal agents over reports of "unlawful abductions and abuse" targeting U.S. citizens and immigrants. 🛑 At a press conference, she slammed alleged tactics like tasing and warrantless detentions, calling them "an assault on every person in this country."
Backed by Congressman Robert Garcia and immigrant rights advocates, Bass highlighted ProPublica data claiming 170 citizens were arrested by Homeland Security in recent operations. Garcia accused agents of acting like "masked men dragging people off streets" without due process. 🔍
Garcia also sent a formal demand to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for records, arguing these actions "violate the Constitution and American values." The clash comes amid rising tensions over immigration enforcement in California. 🌆
"No one should fear being jailed because of how they look," Garcia stressed, framing the issue as a civil rights battle. With bipartisan pressure mounting, all eyes are on Washington’s next move. 👀
