WASHINGTON (AURN News) — Eighteen Latino immigrant and civil rights organizations are calling on the next Congress to subpoena White House chief of staff Stephen Miller on day one and investigate the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
In a letter to Democratic leaders, the coalition also wants sworn testimony from border czar Tom Homan, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director David Venturella.
They’re demanding records on deaths in custody, the detention of children and the killing of U.S. citizens by immigration agents. The coalition is also asking Congress to freeze new ICE spending and contracts until lawmakers get a full accounting of the agency’s finances.
The demand comes after Democrats won control of both chambers in the midterms and days after President Donald Trump elevated Miller, a leading architect of his immigration agenda, to chief of staff.
Vanessa Cárdenas, executive director of America’s Voice, said in a statement that families affected by immigration enforcement “deserve answers under oath.”
