U.S. Lawmakers Demand Reforms to Immigration Officers’ Use of Tear Gas and Pepper Spray
U.S. senators Cory Booker, Richard Blumenthal, and Tammy Duckworth demand reforms to federal agents' use of tear gas and pepper spray after a ProPublica investigation revealed at least 79 children were harmed during immigration enforcement. The lawmakers argue that the Department of Homeland Security's policies are too lax compared to local police departments and call for updated guidelines to prevent collateral damage to children.
