"So we are seeing them be more aggressive and less likely to be called to account. Over the past year, the administration has dismantled many of the internal watchdog offices at the Department of Homeland Security, enabling agents to act with impunity."
"We are calling for the immediate return of this young man and his family. This is a student who needs access to medical devices, hearing aids, and he needs to be in a program where he can receive support and care - not in some detention center, not in some cell living in squalor and poor conditions."
Immigration enforcement has intensified with reduced oversight mechanisms. The Department of Homeland Security has dismantled internal watchdog offices, allowing agents to operate with greater impunity and aggression. California officials and immigration attorneys are demanding the return of a Bay Area mother and her two young children who were detained and deported after attending a routine asylum check-in appointment. One child, who is deaf, was separated from necessary medical devices including hearing aids during detention. State officials emphasize the urgent need for the family's return, particularly to ensure the child receives required medical support and educational services rather than remaining in detention.
