Sacramento lawmaker asks feds about courthouse closure, immigrant detentions

Source: The Sacramento Bee

Sacramento Assemblymember Maggy Krell is seeking more information about why public access to the John E. Moss Federal Building in downtown Sacramento was restricted Friday, and what Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were doing inside the courthouse. 

In a letter invoking the Freedom of Information Act, Krell cited a Sacramento Bee story Friday detailing a lockdown of the federal building and the detention of people by immigration agents. 

“As a California State Assemblymember representing Sacramento, I am deeply concerned by this breach of public access, transparency, and due process,” Krell wrote. “I request all records that explain how and why this occurred.” The Saturday letter was addressed to an immigration review office within the U.S. Department of Justice.
