LA County DA condemns ICE detention of staffer as 'unacceptable'
LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in an internal email that an employee of his office was 'wrongfully detained' by ICE and later released. Hochman called the incident 'unacceptable' and noted the staffer was not a prosecutor or protester; he urged federal authorities to respect residents' rights. The episode adds to ongoing concerns about ICE raids and potential racial profiling amid lawsuits alleging Fourth Amendment violations.
