• Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland emphasizes the need for a full accounting of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements air operations to address serious human rights concerns.
• The Democratic Party (United States) senators are advocating for accountability in immigration practices amid growing scrutiny over the treatment of individuals during deportation.
