Lindsay Toczylowski of Immigrant Defenders testifies about the story of a family who has not been able to locate their family member for 48 days and counting. Only DHS can answer where the person is.

[One LA @OneLA_IAF]

Rep. Laura Friedman shares that families call her office to locate their family members and her office is not able to find them. Decries the lack of transparency from DHS.
