Democrats in Congress announced a joint investigation into immigration agents' detention of U.S. citizens following a ProPublica investigation that found over 170 Americans have been held by immigration officials this year. The investigation will examine how citizens, particularly Latinos, have been detained based on citizenship questions and will include a hearing in Los Angeles. The detentions have included cases where citizens were dragged, beaten, and held without access to phones or lawyers.
