Congressional Democrats have launched an investigation into the Trump administration's efforts to deport US military members and their families. This move comes after it was found that over 50 spouses and parents of active-duty troops have been detained by immigration authorities. The investigation will look into whether the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security are working together to deport these individuals.
A letter was sent to the relevant departments, signed by more than 60 lawmakers, to initiate the probe. Further details on the investigation are available from the source, including the full letter sent by the lawmakers. The probe aims to shed light on the coordination between government agencies and the impact on military personnel and their families.
