"American citizens who say they were victims of violence at the hands of federal immigration agents are set to testify on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, including the siblings of Renée Good, the woman shot and killed in Minneapolis last month. Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut) and Rep. Robert Garcia (California) sponsored the forum, focused on what they call "violent tactics and disproportionate use of force by the Department of Homeland Security.""
"Among those expected to testify are Marimar Martinez, who was shot by a federal agent in October and later charged with assaulting that officer, charges that were later dropped; Aliya Rahman, a traumatic brain injury survivor dragged from her car by agents in January; and Martin Daniel Rascon, who was shot at by border control agents in California in August. Brent and Luke Ganger, Good's siblings, are also expected to testify."

The forum was sponsored by Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep. Robert Garcia, and centered on alleged violent tactics and disproportionate DHS use of force. Several individuals scheduled to testify include Marimar Martinez, Aliya Rahman, and Martin Daniel Rascon, each describing incidents involving federal agents. Lawmakers also voted to end a partial government standoff and begin negotiating immigration enforcement accountability after the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. Federal deployments to Minneapolis and arrests of protesters followed.
