(The Center Square) – A congressional field hearing is scheduled for the end of the month in Texas to address the fatal shooting of a Mexican national by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus held a news conference Tuesday in Washington, D.C., expressing consternation about two fatal ICE shootings that have occurred in one week. Last Tuesday, a Mexican national was fatally shot in Houston. On Monday, a Colombian national was fatally shot in Biddeford, Maine.
