Top leaders of the California Legislature are frustrated by how hard it is to get information from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
So they’re turning to more official channels.
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount) and Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) have filed requests with the federal government through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
They want to know more about ICE policies on actions at churches, schools and other public places. They especially want information on how ICE is treating so-called Dreamers, people brought here illegally as children by their parents.
De León says the FOIA request can bring clarity to the situation.
