SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A California state legislator has filed a lawsuit against federal immigration officials, alleging a lack of transparency surrounding arrests of immigrants during court appearances both statewide and nationwide.
Assemblymember Maggy Krell, a Sacramento Democrat and former prosecutor, announced the legal action outside the John E. Moss Federal Building in Sacramento, where immigration hearings are held daily. Krell said she is suing the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which operates under the U.S. Department of Justice, after what she described as inadequate responses to her Freedom of Information Act requests.
