ICE is out of control. Everyone needs to know the nightmare that is unfolding for my constituent and his family. Last month, ICE detained Benjamin Guerrero-Cruz while he was walking his dog. Benjamin is a rising senior and in Junior ROTC at Reseda High School. He is a kid who wants to serve our community. He has been in ICE detention for the past month, separated from his family and friends. Last week, ICE transferred Benjamin from California to Arizona. Less than 24 hours later, Benjamin was slated to be transferred again to Louisiana but was instead sent back to California. This all occurred without his family knowing. This is why I introduced the INFORM Act. The INFORM Act brings transparency to ICE's decisionmaking process and fights for the dignity of detainees. When I visited the Adelanto Detention Facility to get answers into ICE's decisionmaking process, ICE blocked me. I will keep fighting and seeking justice for Benjamin, his family, and all immigrants.
